HP Pavilion Elite m9100z series Desktop PC

Enhance, experience, and share digital entertainment—whenever and wherever the mood strikes. Our new Pavilion Elite m9100z features AMD dual-core processors to make it easy.

Windows Vista is here
Get things done, stay connected, and enjoy a variety of entertainment in a secure environment with Windows Vista. This series comes with Vista Home Premium, which includes Windows Aero, Windows Media Center, and instant search functionality. Upgrade to Windows Vista Ultimate and you'll get a new look, instant search, built-in Windows Media Center, and automated security features. You'll be able to create family photo albums and home videos, listen to music, automatically record TV shows and movies, and explore games.

Multi-core performance
AMD's Athlon 64 X2 dual-core processors, let you run more applications at once, taking on demanding tasks like video editing. It's no problem to run security applications, burn a disc, and edit video without bogging down your PC. For extreme performance, the m9100z can also be configured with the latest AMD Phenom processor with quad-core technology. These processors speed through advanced multitasking, plus handle critical business productivity, advanced visual design and modeling, and serious gaming; they also offer visually stunning media and entertainment.

Entertainment software
Bring out the best in your m9100z when you download a free AMD Live! entertainment suite. Applications include tools for compressing large video files (to one tenth their size), streaming photos and video to any Internet-connected media player (including cell phone or PDA), and free backing up of files and photos to an on-line server.

TV options
This series includes a PCI TV tuner card with a personal video recorder, which lets you record both shows and entire series, plus pause and rewind live material. And you can upgrade to a dual tuner that lets you watch and record two programs at once1. The included remote lets you direct the action from up to 10 feet away.

High-performance graphics
Customize your m9100z with a dedicated graphics card to bring images, videos, and games to life on your screen. A card with dedicated video memory will help your system run more smoothly when handling large, graphics-intensive applications.

LightScribe disc labeling
The included DVD writer with HP's LightScribe technology2 lets you burn precise, professional-looking labels from your PC straight on to LightScribe-enabled CDs and DVDs. After burning a disc, you just flip it over and insert back in the same drive for labeling; there's no need to print, align, or adhere anything.

Plenty of storage
You can never have too much space for digital video files, photos, and songs. With this in mind, these PCs have Serial ATA hard drives with up to 750GB (7200 rpm) when you customize. In addition, you can select a RAID-enabled hard drive up to 1TB for mirroring (data backup and security) or high performance.

The m9100z also includes built-in bays for a personal media drive and pocket media drive (each sold separately) for even more storage versatility.

Protect your PC
The Pavilion m9100z comes with a 15-month subscription to Norton Internet Security 2007 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—an external hard drive, a personal media drive, a networked drive, or even a CD/DVD disk. You can also create automated scheduled backups.

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 built-in 15-in-1 digital media card reader. The reader also includes an integrated infrared receiver for the remote control for a clean, clutter-free computing environment.
