"The HP dv2000t is a 14.1” 5.5 lb “Thin and Light” notebook. The “Thin and Light” class notebook has become the most popular notebook class on the market today. It’s pretty clear why that’s the case: the laptop is small enough to be portable, yet has a screen large enough for entertainment and multimedia use. In addition, most 14.1” notebooks offer tremendous value. Going to a larger screen means paying extra for the LCD panel. Going to a smaller screen means paying the R&D costs required for developing a system that small.

The standout feature of the HP dv2000t is its new high-gloss finish: HP Imprint. This is a sophisticated scratch-resistant coating with an inlaid pattern that was developed by Nissha Printing Co. from Japan. This is the same technology used to produce the faux wood or carbon fiber trim in some mid-luxury cars. Instead of painting over a surface (which can lead to flaking and visible scratches), the pattern is integrated into the resin. The clear resin offers a deep, mirror-like glaze to the surface that hasn’t been seen in any consumer notebook to date. Of course, as with any high-gloss surface, fingerprints and smearing can be a problem. That’s why HP includes a felt cleaning cloth with the notebook. Still, a good premium micro-fiber cloth from the car wash aisle at Wal-Mart or Target will do a better job."
