HP Pavilion dm1-4010us Review

HP Pavilion dm1-4010us Full Review: Better Than A Netbook.
The latest HP Pavilion dm1 (dm1z) makes a good choice for people looking for an affordable, compact laptop with good overall performance. The new HP Pavilion dm1-4010us ($480) is a simple and straightforward update to the dm1 series laptops from early 2011. You get an 11-inch netbook with a traditional rounded clamshell design. The biggest design change here is that the new generation of dm1z laptops feature mostly black plastics with silver accents rather than mostly silver with black accents. Build quality is on par with other HP Pavilion notebooks and HP mini netbooks ... meaning slightly above average for a budget laptop. The plastics used in the chassis are durable and thick enough to prevent flex or cracking under pressure. The plastic screen lid provides adequate protection for the screen, but the middle of the lid does bend inward under firm pressure (be careful jamming this into overhead compartments on your next flight).

Laptop HP Pavilion dv7t Review

The HP Pavilion dv7t Quad Edition's powerful Core i7 processor and optional solid state drive beef up an already great multimedia experience. Many of you are interested in a review for the HP Pavilion dv7t laptop we are giving away here on College Being. Here is what we think:HP Pavilion dv7t features the following specifications:

• Intel Core i7-2630QM quad-core CPU (2.0 GHz, 6MB L3 Cache) w/Turbo Boost up to 2.9 GHz
• 17.3" diagonal HD+ HP BrightView (glossy) LED Display (1600 x 900)
• Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
• 8GB DDR3 memory
• 660GB total, dual hard drive system (160GB SSD + 500GB at 7200RPM)
• 1GB GDDR5 Radeon HD 6770M graphics
• Blu-ray player and SuperMulti DVD burner
• Gigabit Ethernet and Intel 802.11b/g/n wireless
• TrueVision HD webcam

• Dimensions: 16.3" x 10.8" x 1.2"
• Weight: 6.72 with standard battery
• MSRP as configured: $1,605

His includes $250 off the rarely discounted HP HDX18t 18-inch Laptop, dv4 series, dv5 series, dv7 series and the tx2500z tablet PC. Configure with up to 4GB RAM, Blu-ray, and Nvidia Graphics. There is a shinny coating on the back with a nice HP logo lit up with a blue LED. The monitor is wide enough to enjoy Blu-ray movies and all the games the laptop comes with. The keyboard and coating on all other parts of the laptop is incredibly sick-(in a good way)-looking. There is a shine to it that will make your laptop look brand new for years–as long as you clean off the frequent smudge marks created by your oily fingers. You will definitely be able to compete with the increasing population of Mac laptops in terms of style, but what about functionality?

Laptop HP Pavilion dv6t Review

Improved design, Beats audio, new USB 3.0 ports, an HD Webcam, fingerprint sensor, a variety of configurations ranging from budget to high-end, and second-gen Core i-series processors are all part of the HP Pavilion dv6t's design makeover. The Pavilion dv6t comes with an Onyx black color lid which is very attractive and provides a sleek look. The lid has a subtle mesh inlaid design and a glossy finish which is appealing to look at but a fingerprint magnet (HP mercifully provides a fiber cloth to clean the lid). The keyboard area has a silver metallic finish and is also slightly glossy in nature, though not to the extent that it will pick up fingerprints. The display area of the dv6t is again black and glossy like the lid.
