HP Pavilion Elite m9300z Desktop PC

Enhance, experience, and share your digital entertainment—whenever and wherever the mood strikes–with our Pavilion Elite m9300z, featuring AMD multicore processors.

Genuine Windows Vista with Service Pack 1
This series comes with genuine Windows Vista Home Premium, which includes Windows Aero, Windows Media Center, and instant search. Upgrade to genuine Windows Vista Ultimate on your Pavilion PC and you'll notice the difference in the new look, instant search, built-in Windows Media Center, and automated security features.

Multicore performance
AMD's Phenom triple-core processors let you run more apps at once, taking on demanding tasks. It's no problem to run security applications, burn a disc, and edit video without bogging down your PC. For the ultimate in performance, configure your m9300z with the latest AMD Phenom processor with quad-core technology.

Entertainment software
Compress large video files (to one tenth their size), stream photos and videos to any Internet-connected media player (including cell phone or PDA), and back up of files and photos to an on-line server.

Turn your PC into a TV
This series includes an ATSC-NTSC TV tuner card with a personal video recorder, which lets you pause and rewind live material, plus record up to two shows at once while watching a prerecorded third. Or select a dual tuner that lets you watch and record three at once.1 The included remote lets you direct the action from up to 10 feet away.

High-performance graphics
Bring images, videos, and games to life on your screen with a dedicated graphics card. A card with dedicated video memory will help your system smoothly handle large, graphics-intense applications.

Fun, durable labels
The included DVD writer with LightScribe1 lets you label discs with professional-looking text and images. After burning a LightScribe-enabled disc, you just flip it over and reinsert for labeling; there's no need to print, align, or attach a sticker.

Add an optical drive that lets you play and burn a DVD at the same time, or a high-definition DVD-ROM, which supplies up to six times better resolution than standard DVD formats.

Hot Blu-ray technology
Enhance your high-def entertainment with a Blu-ray disc writer. You can read and write Blu-ray discs, read HD DVD discs, and read and write traditional DVDs and CDs. Once you try high-def DVD, you'll never go back. Note: select a dedicated graphics card upgrade for the best performance.

Plenty of storage
Need lots of space for digital video files, photos, and songs? These PCs have Serial ATA hard drives with up to 1TB (7200 rpm) when you customize. In addition, you can select a RAID-enabled hard drive for mirroring (data backup and security) or high performance.

For extra storage versatility, the m9300z includes built-in bays for a personal media drive and pocket media drive (each sold separately).

High-quality software
We test and qualify all software sold with our PCs to help ensure a trouble-free experience with your new computer. In addition, our software prices are competitive: they're equal to—and often lower than—prices you'll commonly find in stores and online.

Norton Internet Security
The Pavilion m9300z comes with a 15-month subscription to Norton Internet Security 2008 software; you can upgrade to 36 months of protection from viruses, worms, and other malicious programs.

Automatic backup
Touching the Easy Backup button on the front bezel initiates an instant backup of all your files to the medium of your choice—external hard drive, personal media drive, networked drive, or disc. You can also create an automatically scheduled backup.

Fast file transfers
This series makes it simple to transfer photos and music from portable devices and digital cameras to your PC. You'll download everything fast with the 15-in-1 digital media card reader, which has an infrared receiver for the remote.
