The HP Pavilion dv7-2273cl, like the recent Pavilion dv7 models we have reviewed, is one of the best desktop replacements on the market with a well-designed chassis and stunning 17.3-inch display. But unlike its more affordable $800 HP Pavilion dv7-3063cl and HP Pavilion dv7-2270us siblings, the $999 dv7-2273cl has a Intel CPU, Blu-ray drive, and discrete ATI graphics. While there are more powerful desktop replacements on the market with full HD-resolution screens, for under a grand the Windows 7-equipped HP Pavilion dv7-2273cl provides a good balance of multimedia capabilities and everyday performance.
