Great but lacking

 

Overall a nice powerful traveling laptop, but the main reason I bought it was because I thought it had a backlit keyboard. I already own a 15" HP Pavilion DV6-6C48US and decided to get this with its smaller 14" screen to travel with and for the backlit...

HP warranty and service really suck!!!

 

I got the HP DM4-3050us laptop in Feb 2012. It was working fine until one day in July when the display is skewed and non-viewable. I contacted HP online which sent a shipping box to pick up the laptop for their service center in Texas (?). I contacted...

A really fine laptop with great features.

 

This is really fast and very easy to use. The fingerprint reader is especially cool and convenient. Also has an extremely fine audio system. Very dependable HP.

Light, good audio, optical drive dead on arrival

 

I'm returning this unit, which is a bummer, I really wish it would have worked out because it is fairly light, pretty fast and it does have decent sound. That all said, no more HP products for us. Actually, nothing but Apple from here on out. We took a...

I will never buy HP again

 

I will never buy an HP product again. Their customer service and their product are horrible. Six weeks after I purchased the laptop a small crack appeared in the top corner and the screen died. I called their customer service line, explained what...

A great bang for the buck

 

Pros: This HP Pavilion dm4-3050 notebook is sleek, lightweight and very compact looking. It's performance is very good, and I am even able to play games like Need For Speed Shift, Spiderman, and Prince of Persia Sands of Time without any trouble (even...
