HP Pavilion dv3-1075us Laptop User Review:

Pros:

• HP Pavilion dv3-1075us is a GREAT laptop. I got it because it is small and lightweight I am a student and I wanted something I could take to work with me to do my school work. So far this little guy is great. I like that you can turn the touchpad off. That comes in handy when I am using MS office. The HP on the outer lid lights up and that’s pretty neat.
• This laptop comes with a powerful AMD Turion chip @2.1GHz with 4GB RAM (standard) vs. the Intel Atom @1.6GHz with 512 MB RAM (typical in any netbook, currently). Wireless connectivity is a snap and it comes with the 802.11n standard for much faster access. Ethernet is 10/100/1000 capable.
• This HP is very quiet, as far as heat goes, it has been mostly lukewarm to warm.
• This HDMI was a major selling point to me because it allows me to use the technology available from my monitor.
• Even though it is only 13.3" in size, the keyboard is very comfortable to use and don’t feel any compromise for the small footprint. It is well designed, very modern, sleek and elegant. Not to mention so light-weight.
• This was the only Laptop that had 3 USBs. I love the way the keyboard lights up in low light conditions.

Cons:

• The speakers are not great, but then I never use them. The only con to this laptop is the hard drive.. it is a bit on the noisy side.

HP Pavilion dv6-1030us Laptop User Review:

Pros:

• Nice size screen, plenty of RAM-great performance and nice to have a number pad on a laptop.
• HDMI output is a great addition, card reader etc. Solidly built as well and not too heavy.
• Easy set up; added software with no problems; looks great. I bought this for my wife whom has much less computer experience. She is pleased with it’s performance; with our high speed cable internet(3gbs) she has been surfing without complaint. Gobs of memory for her to put all her pictures on it. Good price for all it’s atributes.
• Sleek, fairly fast, comes with Vista 64bit to take advantage of the 4Gb memory.
• Comes with a remote that goes in the card slot. Bluetooth works out of the box and is easy to use. The built in webcam is surprisingly good.
• There is a slot in the PC that holds the mini remote control. On the left side of the laptop. Cool! At least I think so.

Cons:

• The touch pad is shiny metal like chrome and it leaves fingerprints and smudgies.
• I find the screen resolution to be lacking for a 16" monitor. The highest res you can get on the DV6 and what this has is only 1366 x 768, it should be available in the 1600 x 900 resolution display like Sony has.
• Battery life ok, not great, ca. 2hr. with typical powersaver settings, probably significantly less if you watch DVDs.
• Hard drive speed is 5400RPM, 7200RPM would be nice.

HP Pavilion dv7-1270us Laptop User Review:

Pros:

• Great spec’s for the price. FSB at 1066 MHz, Blu-ray, 4GB RAM. Fast Boot-up (once you delete all the preloaded junk). Unlike the other reviewers, I actually really like the color. Lots of USB ports. This laptop does not get hot after hours of use.
• I used the blu-ray once and it worked fine. I think I would enjoy it more when I hook it up to an HDTV. I’ve watched iTunes videos on it and hooked it up to my larger HP monitor. It works just as well. I truly don’t have any issues with it and I’m very pleased.
• The screen is beautiful and ample. Colors are well defined and properly saturated. The nVidia 9600GT might not be able to play Crysis maxxed out, but it surely runs my favorite games in high with no overheating whatsoever. CPU (Perynn) with 1066Mhz FSB is (are) very snappy and and perform very well.
• Real nice laptop. Owned a decent laptop prior to this one, but it doesn’t even compare to what this one has. All the controls are real responsive, nice quiet keyboard, and no dead pixels on the screen.

Cons:

• 5400RPM hard drive, still acceptable for me.
• Finger print magnet.
• Power jack is in a bad place, could use Right angle plug in instead.
• Bluetooth and Wifi switch both in one touch button, you cant use one or the other.
• The keyboards are hard to see especially with low light, especially numbers, a serious hassle.

CD drive is relatively quiet and fast. HDMI out picture looks sounds and works flawlessly. Laptop has a really nice design and color scheme. All the LEDs are white and orange and look really nice with the bronze finish. Overall this laptop is a great laptop and has enough resources to meet almost anyone’s computing requirements.

HP Pavilion dv4-1220us Laptop User Review:

Pros:

• Runs cool and quiet for a AMD. Graphics are great. I have CS source and DOOM 3 they play great. well built and strong but not heavy. good for traveling.
• The Touchpad is different but once I got used to it I like it. Was pleasantly surprised with outside case.
• Small and stylish compared to most in this price range. Has a decent processor and graphics card. Laptop speakers are well above average in quality and loudness compared to most laptops.

• Runs smoothly(most of the time). Cool light up HP emblem on cover, GOLD!!! (all over&keyboard). Lots of RAM!! =) DirectX 10 support, and WINDOWS VISTA 64BIT Edition!
• Cheap at the old price. 4Gig RAM. Wireless N
• The HDMI and eSTAT is great for price
• Nice bronze color

Cons:

• You can’t see lables/alphabets on keyboard clearly (because of bronze color) specially during night time…
• The battery life is short.. maybe an hour and a half even when it in the recommended power save mode.
• The quick touch panel is handy but the hp ‘quickplay’ button is a bit of a pain. It’s very easy to accidentally hit this button and make the computer stop what it’s doing to launch that program.

Pros:

Small, but not too small.
Easy to hold, carry, and the accessories for it are well suited.
Keyboard is large enough for touch typing and the multi-touch trackpad works better than I expected.
The Atom processor performs as advertised with the battery lasting 5 hours on casual web surfing.
