Sniper Elite V2 comes real close to offering players an engaging sniping experience, but ultimately falls a bit short thanks to clunky controls, terrible AI and wonky stealth mechanics.
With the power the dual-core platform brings to the table, today's laptops handle everything from standard browsing and office to full blown 3D gaming and HD-quality video playback. Keeping this in mind HP has refreshed its mid-level 8000 range with HP DV 8216TX built on the Core Duo platform.
Build & Design This laptop is elegant, and looks quite smart thanks to the two-tone color scheme. The weight, coupled with firm hinges and a unique shape, along with toughened plastic, gives it a good, solid, chunky feel. Another feature “desktop replacement” you will appreciate is the full-size 101-key keyboard with a proper numeric pad. The keys are well spaced out and firm enough with a good tactile response. Located at the top of the keyboard, are the Media Function and Volume Control keys backlit in soft blue that makes for easy viewing especially while working in the dark. This is probably the best keyboard we've ever seen on a laptop. Considering the laptop is a desktop replacement it weighs 3.6 kilos, which is pretty hefty considering that a higher-spec Dell Inspiron 9400 weighs in at less than 3.5 kilos.
