HP’s HDX 18 Entertainment PC is a notebook, but not in the portability sense of the word. With an 18.4-inch diagonal screen and a carry weight of 10 pounds, 9 ounces, you might occasionally move this monster from room to room, but you won’t take it everywhere you go—certainly not without the aid of a lifting belt.
Of course, the large size does have its merits. The aforementioned screen, for instance, sports a 1920x1080p resolution for ample desktop space and a true high-def movie experience, made all the more vivid by the screen’s glossy surface.
The HDX 18 also offers a full-size keyboard and numeric pad that make typing easy and comfortable. The accommodations extend to a generous helping of ports, including—but not limited to—HDMI, dual headphone jacks, three USB ports, and a very cool hybrid USB/eSATA port for supreme flexibility.
