HP Pavilion dv4-1551dx Notebook PC - 14.1" Display / Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 2.2GHz / 4GB DDR3 / 320GB HD / DVD±RW/CD-RW / Webcam & Microphone / Windows 7 Home Premium Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My laptop performs all of the functions I request of it with alacrity and accuracy. I am quite pleased and recommend it often. It has given me absolutely no cause for complaint, as of yet, and I consider that a strong endorsement for high-level product approval. It is very lightweight, feels small even, and is also relatively slim. The screen seems small at first, but, like driving a friends automobile, one becomes accustomed to the differences quickly and adapts. I find it handy. Movies, music, office-type tasks, internet, the few games I enjoy - and it has a webcam that I haven't tried - these things work perfectly. The features packed onto this little notebook are amazing to me. So many well-organized and well-conceived features in such a small package. Don't get one of the inexpensive off-brand batteries if you can possibly avoid doing so. The HP replacements/spares are much better in my experience. I feel quite comfortable and pleased with my investment in this product and most definitely feel comfortable advising whomever it may be that is reading this, if you are considering buying a laptop, the hp pavilion dv4-1551dx would be an excellent choice. It is really so much faster then I expected. Enjoy......

- HP Pavilion dv4-2045dx Notebook PC (White) - AMD Turion II Dual-Core M500 2.2GHz / 14.1" WXGA / 4GB DDR2 / 320GB HD / DVD±RW/CD-RW / Built-in webcam / Windows 7 Home Premium Review

(More customer reviews)I bought this explicitly for using as a budget HTPC. I didn't need Blu-Ray or long battery life because I intended to park it on my components and plug it into my big screen via HDMI. I did need a computer with good graphics and a pc that was powerful enough to run flash and HD video without hiccuping. Picked this up yesterday and by the time I had the OS decrappified of all of the junk software they add to these budget computers I was up and running and connected to my entertainment center and watching youtube on the big screen in no time.
I'll leave some updates later but here are a few important things to keep in mind.
1. There is a little button above the touchpad that turns it on and off. Make sure it's on before you freak out.
2. You have to touch the wireless icon in order to turn on the wireless card. It glows red and changes color to blue when it's on and it's touch sensitive.
Both points aren't made clear in the manual.

HP Pavilion DV6-1360US 15.6-Inch Espresso Laptop - Up to 3.5 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Home Premium) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For the dv6-1360us
Pros:
Price - For less than 900, I got a laptop that can play the games I want at high settings and is fairly light for portability's sake.
Keyboard - This laptop has a pretty comfortable keyboard to type on. I'm not a huge fan of the touch controls for volume and wireless adapter, but you get used to it quickly. The inclusion of a numpad is great and it doesn't make the keyboard feel squashed.
DDR3 RAM - This computer can handle a lot of various tasks together and the bumped up performance from the DDR3 RAM is pretty noticeable.
Movies - Good resolution on the screen. Not 1080p, but still great to watch movies on. HDMI output is awesome
Speakers - MUCH louder and clearer than any other laptop I've ever owned. No Bass, but I didn't expect any.
Great Graphics Card - I have tried playing various different games, including WoW, Crysis, CoD4, Resident Evil 5, and Prototype. I have had very nice framerates for all of the games at high settings without overclocking
The little remote control that they include with the laptop clicks nicely into the expresscard slot and is great for when you connect the computer to a screen and want to watch a movie.
Cons:
This thing is a fingerprint and dust magnet. Be ready to wipe it clean several times a week with the included microfiber cloth.
The 6 cell battery that is included is pretty mediocre. At all settings on optimal, I squeezed out about an hour and a half on it. At optimal battery life, it was about 2 hours and 15 minutes. I will probably invest in a 12 cell battery.
No BluRay - I didn't actually expect bluray on a laptop this cheap, but it'd be nice
ATI's video card drivers are still in Beta. I haven't had any troubles so far, but until a stable release, I'm still a little worried and crossing my fingers.
The HP LED light on the case is kind of annoying since you can't turn it off at all. and it is BRIGHT
