Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
If you’re tempted to replace a desktop computer with a compact high-end system, Hewlett-Packard’s Pavilion ze5170 notebook PC might be just the ticket. Powered by a 2 GHz Intel Pentium 4 processor and sporting a generous, brilliant 15-inch, active-matrix TFT display, the ze5170 muscles its way through most any productivity or multimedia task. With two USB ports and an ATI Mobility Radeon 3-D graphics chip, it’s also a quite credible high-end portable gaming machine.
The ze5170 serves up heaping portions of memory and storage. Its 40 GB hard drive easily swallows large application and data files, and its 512 MB of 266 MHz DDR SDRAM--expandable to a maximum of 1,024 MB--blazes through any software. An integrated 10/100 Ethernet card makes it simple to network the ze5170, and wireless connectivity is a snap with an optional 802.11b card. The ze5170’s external ports include a port replicator and a PCI dock connector, letting you connect to external monitors, mice, and network hookups.
Watching DVD movies and listening to or even burning audio CDs is convenient with the ze5170’s DVD/CD-RW combination drive (24x/8x/8x, 8x DVD).
At roughly 7.5 pounds (depending on configuration) and squeezed into a 13-by-10.7-by-1.8-inch package, the ze5170 won’t win any featherweight titles. But from the comfort of a home office or hotel suite--or even the relative discomfort of an airline seat--the ze5170’s cool blue lights and full-size, 87-key, spill-resistant keyboard offer a first-class, hands-on experience and smart visuals.
Installed software includes a wide range of productivity and multimedia tools. The ze5170 ships with Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition; Corel WordPerfect 9 word processor and Quattro Pro 9 spreadsheet; Quicken Financial Center by Intuit, including New Users Edition 2002; Encyclopedia Britannica Ready Reference; Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0; PowerDirector Pro VE video editing software; My Games 3-D entertainment; ArcSoft PhotoStudio, Funhouse, and PhotoImpression 4 editing tools; and Norton AntiVirus 2002.

Works for me.,
By A Customer
This review is from: HP Pavilion ze5170 Laptop (2.0 GHz Pentium 4, 512MB RAM, 40GB hard drive) (Personal Computers)
After considerable research, I bought the ze5170 as a desktop replacement. I like HP engineering, and this machine has only reinforced that sentiment. There is only one flaw and that is the not-so-DVD-friendly Mobility graphics card. It stutters at some chapter changes and with certain kinds of subtitles. Reducing resolution to the minimum tends to fix this, but then the picture isn't quite as sharp as it might be. Still, DVDs are very watchable, especially for the occasional viewer. The two fans can get a little noisey, but they also serve as a reminder of HP's persnickediness about tolerances - most other manufacturers just let your legs or (worse) the electronics bake. Keep this one in mind.

HP makes cruddy laptops don't buy this,

This review is from: HP Pavilion ze5170 Laptop (2.0 GHz Pentium 4, 512MB RAM, 40GB hard drive) (Personal Computers)
If you go on HPs forums, you'll see quite a few major problems with this laptop.1. DC jack comes loose or breaks off board, laptop becomes unuseable 2. Backlight flickers, then goes off, inverter fried 3. Hard drive may suddenly stop responding 4. Touch pad is sticky or non responsive or just plain broken 5. Upgrading bios may turn the laptop into a brick even if you do it exactly right and pick the right one. 6. Battery stops working unexpectedly 7. Buying it from a computer store, you may be missing parts like th AC adapter or the recovery disks. HP will charge you $100 for the disks even though the windows license is right on the computer. Don't ever buy a computer from an electronics store. Never. If you have enough to get a decent computer, buy a Dell. If you are strapped for cash, buy a Gateway. If you have plenty of cash, buy a Thinkpad...they are the best laptops in the market. I am not writing this as a rabid "fanboy", but as a person who owns the paperweight, I mean the HP ze5170 right now and who has experienced every one of these issues. I have also owned several Thinkpads and Gateways. Oh, I miss my 333mhz Thinkpad...isn't that terrible?

Nothing but trouble. It never worked from the day I got it. Had it repaired, 6 months later hard drive is clicking and fans not working. Lost hard drive. HP says ship it back. I said - it's under warranty right, you fixed it 6 months ago. She says no it is not under warranty. Repair is warrantied for 90 days. "90 days???" I said. "Well, there is obviously a REASON" you won't warranty your products or repair for more than 90 days.Isn't there?
