HP Pavilion dm4-1065dx review: HP Pavilion dm4-1065dx

HP Pavilion dm4-1065dx

Stylish design and thin body; fast Core i5 performance; strong battery life.

Lacks dedicated graphics; similarly priced laptops include Blu-ray.

HP's slick and powerful Pavilion dm4-1065dx offers great core performance, long battery life, and an eye-catching design at a very competitive price, making it a very attractive back-to-school laptop.

Stylish Beats Audio. The 14-inch Pavilion dm4 Beats Edition is the most stylish Beats Audio notebook to date.. but how does it perform in a market that is increasingly favoring similarly-priced Ultrabooks?

HP Pavilion dm4-3010tx Review

The HP Pavilion dm4-3010tx has been in the market for quite a while now, but from what we have seen, it is one of the better options. Despite being on Sandy Bridge, the performance is actually quite good. But the real cherry on the cake is the very...

Very sophisticated design, Good performance, Very good battery life, Surprisingly light

Alternatives can handle gaming better, Touchpad is not the best

HP dm4 Beats Edition Notebook Review: Down With The Beat

When you think about a company like HP, you probably don't think about innovation. They're an old company, one that now has a massive market and lots of customers to worry about losing. Common sense says they are more likely to be slow and cautious.

A powerful 14in laptop that can handle some light gaming, but there are better 15in models

HP Pavilion dm4 review: HP Pavilion dm4

HP Pavilion dm4

Upscale design; powerful CPU; large touch pad; excellent battery life.

There are better midsize multimedia deals out there; app dock is loaded with advertising pitches.

HP's latest multimedia system, the Pavilion dm4, is a powerful, slick-looking package--but some competitors in the same price range offer more features for less.

Expert Review

Good, battery life, light weight, excellent all round performance and superb sound reproduction

Playing high-end games is not very pleasing experience and even the track pad is not the best in the class. Also, it lacks HDMI port

HP Pavilion DM4-3010TX definitely proves to be an ideal choice for those looking for a notebook with sturdy build quality, excellent battery life and superb performance.
