HP Pavilion dv5-1250us Laptop User Review:

Pros:

• I like the graphics card with 512 megs dedicated, the 2 AMD Turion 64 bit processors, the 4 gig RAM, the 400 meg drive.
• Extremely nice speakers. Works great with games and multi tasking. I always go on the internet while playing online games and this computer hasn’t failed me like my past laptops.
• The HP Pavilion dv5-1250us laptop is fast and multitasks like no other, easy to start up.
• This laptop runs smooth,runs the games that i would plan to play on my laptop other than my gaming rig
• Play Games On High Settings fast. Amazing 400 gb harddrive and very useful for everything.
• This laptop is really good at multitasking since it has a fast processor and 4GB of ram. Windows vista runs very smooth and quick to react. Brightness of screen is good and the colors look great! 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.

Cons:

• Hate the keyboard the keys are bronze and the letters numbers etc, are light black! you have to be in perfect lighting to see them. Would be no problem if you are a touch typist and never need to see the keys. wish they lit up or were silver white anything but what color they are.
• The HP Pavilion dv5-1250us laptop is a terrific computer, but has an extremely strange flaw. The keyboard is illegible. You have to strain your eyes to see the letters and characters printed in light grey on a grey background.
• The keys themselves are a bronze color and the key symbol is black. It makes it virtually impossible to see what the keys are. An unbelievably stupid design decision. Having read S.K.’s review, I thought that maybe the keyboard is back lit, thus making it easy to see which keys are which. The keyboard isn’t back lit. Even with good over head light, the keyboard is very difficult to read. I know I tried.
• The touch sensitive buttons on the laptop can sometimes be a little too sensitive and are not always 100% accurate.

HP Pavilion dv5-1250us Laptop Other Thoughts:

• About screen tilt. The screen does not lay completely flat like other laptops I’ve had in the past. This one goes back to about a 120 degree angle. I sometimes use an external screen with a laptop so need something which can lay flat and not get in the way of the external screen while I use the laptop keyboard in front of it.
• About screen glare. Gone are the days, it seems, when laptops came with a readable, easy on the eye, matt finish LCD screen. This laptop, like so many I looked at, has a highly reflective plastic coating which completely covers the screen. Yes, it will protect the screen but the reflections it picks up from everything else to the sides and behind you are incredibly distracting. If I’d wanted a mirror, I’d have bought a mirror.
• I like blasting my music and pressing this cute little remote that came with it
• Highly Recommended…for the price you will get a computer that plays games on good settings and very fast as an entertainment system.
