Review HP Pavilion dm1-4200sg Netbook

Double standards. There are very few new netbooks, but all the more minis with Zacate APU. HP uses AMD's smallest processing core in the low-cost mobile Pavilion. ...

Keyboard feedback ; Good battery life ; Short charging time of two hours ; Easy maintenance access ; USB 3.0 + Bluetooth 4.0

Bendable chassis ; Relatively high weight ; Relatively low application performance ; High heat emission under load ; TFT is not anti-glare

AMD Brazos 2.0 processors are relatively low power chips that offer better performance than you’d expect from a netbook-class Intel Atom CPU. They also include AMD Radeon HD graphics with support for HD video playback and 3D graphics

HP Pavilion dm1 Review

HP brings out a new mini-star.

Great build quality, Decent performance, Good battery life, Looks beautiful, Crisp screen, Nice keyboard layout, External DVD rewriter

Brazos CPU is somewhat underwhelming, No backlit keyboard

The overall feel of the Pavilion dm1 is a very smooth looking ultraportable. It’s not incredibly thin, nor intensely light, weighing in at 1.5kgs. However, the Pavilion dm1 does have certain appeal to it; it’s curving at just the right angles, buttons...

HP Pavilion dm1-3020us Entertainment PC

The HP Pavilion dm1-3020us is one of the first portables to hit the market featuring AMD's new E-350 dual-core processor, a chip that redefines laptop performance in the netbook price range. The chip is based on AMD's Fusion technology, which puts both...

Speedy for its price, size class ; Superb multimedia playback ; Very good battery life ; Roomy touch pad ; Sharp, bright screen

Noticeable fan noise under load ; 3D performance can’t keep up with latest games

This Pavilion looks like a netbook, but it packs AMD’s Fusion technology inside. It's an excellent, light choice for both productivity and media playback on the road.
