HP Pavilion dm1-4010us Review: Better Than A Netbook

 

If you're trying to find a travel laptop with decent multimedia performance and good battery life that won't take up much room in a carry-on bag then the latest HP Pavilion dm1 might be just what you need.

Compact netbook alternative with good performance ; Nice keyboard and touchpad ; Reasonable gaming capabilities ; Good battery life

Modest update to previous dm1 ; No USB 3.0 ; Beats Audio might not make much difference ; The latest HP Pavilion dm1 (dm1z) makes a good choice for people looking for an affordable, compact laptop with good overall performance.

HP Pavilion dm1-4010us Entertainment Notebook PC

 

This laptop is sized a bit bigger than netbooks, and is a step above their atom processors. It runs the full version of Windows and I can vouch that it will run some modern games at minimal performance.

HP Pavilion dm1-4010us Entertainment Notebook PC

 

Long hours promised but after a full charge and nothing running about 4 hours is shown on the power meter. Good news it could well be a problem with the power meter because longer work times are obtained which are closer to 7-8 hours specified. The...

HP Pavilion dm1-4010us Entertainment Notebook PC

 

The first version of this laptop came with a non-functioning display. I followed some directions on the website, connecting it to an external monitor, downloaded updated drivers and BIOS, but the display still didn't work. Customer service talked me...
