HP Pavilion dv5-2070us

 

Underneath its flashy paint job, the HP Pavilion dv5-2070us is a solid general-purpose laptop.

Core i3 processor. HDMI port. Flashy design. 7200 RPM hard drive.

Touchpad issues. Only 3 USB ports. No Blu-ray.

HP Pavilion dv5-1235dx review: HP Pavilion dv5-1235dx

 

HP Pavilion dv5-1235dx

Attractive design skips the usual gray and black; long battery life; touch-sensitive multimedia controls.

Huge battery adds to weight and size.

HP's attractive multimedia-friendly Pavilion dv5-1235dx has a great battery life, but at the cost of having one of the biggest, ugliest battery packs we've seen.

HP Pavilion dv5-1015nr review: HP Pavilion dv5-1015nr

 

HP Pavilion dv5-1015nr

Modern design, including HP's "frameless" display option; touch-sensitive controls are convenient and attractive; decent application performance; HDMI and eSATA ports; comes with remote control.

Subpar battery life; glossy keyboard and touch pad don't provide the best feel; no Bluetooth.

A Blu-ray drive highlights the feature-packed HP Pavilion dv5-1015nr, while subpar battery life prevents a higher rating for this 15-inch mainstream laptop.

HP Pavilion dv5-1002nr review: HP Pavilion dv5-1002nr

 

HP Pavilion dv5-1002nr

Slick, modern design; touch-sensitive controls look cool; price is currently discounted at Best Buy; included 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.

The HP Pavilion dv5-1002nr's good looks, useful feature set, and current discount price may allow you to overlook its middling performance, but its dreadful battery life might be the deal breaker.

HP Pavilion dv5-1050ee

 

The Pavilion dv5-1050ee is part of HP's ‘Entertainment Notebook' series and is designed for users interested in playing games, watching HD movies and using the notebook for web browsing, office work and e-mail. So, how does the HP fare?
