HP Pavilion dv5-1004nr
Slick, modern design ; touch-sensitive controls look cool ; price is currently discounted at Best Buy ; includes HDMI and eSATA ports ; dual headphone jacks
Terrible battery life ; below average performance ; glossy keyboard and touch pad don't provide the best feel ; no FireWire, Bluetooth, or Draft N Wi-Fi
At its current discounted price, we'd be willing to overlook the HP Pavilion dv5-1004nr's below-average performance if the battery life wasn't so bad.
