The update on the HDX is a 20.1 “widescreen notebook entertainment Hut uses Intel processors Penryn and dedicated Nvidia 8800M GTS graphics.

The HDX shares several design elements with the rest of the HP Pavilion line, but more than size and weight of the HDX separate from his siblings. First, HP has improved its glossy black and silver “Imprint” Finish with a new high-impact version named “Dragon”. Although we did not test the high-finish effects of dropping it has always been in our office, I can say that the surface looks quite durable … if fingerprints show quickly on the shiny surface.
The actual design are characterized by function on the HDX is the dual-display hinge. Instead of opening with a single large hinge on the back of the notebook, the 20.1 “display swings open with a center-mounted rear hinge and will continue to be set with a second hinge on the back side of the display allows you to position the screen for the perfect viewing angle.
