HP Pavilion dv4000 Review

Laptop Magazine has looked at a few laptops lately and one of them was the HP Pavilion dv4000.

It is a little bigger than I would like for extended travel use, but with its features and battery life, I would consider this laptop one to keep near the top of your list.

HP has updated its 6.5-pound Pavilion dv4000, and the new version offers a great balance of entertainment and productivity performance. You still get a crisp widescreen and instant-on DVD and music playback, but there’s a handful of upgrades, including a LightScribe-enabled DVD burner, a faster processor, and a graphics processor from ATI that makes this a bona fide gaming notebook in a mainstream notebook’s clothing.

The dv4000 maintains the elegant design of the previous version. It has a wide keyboard layout that’s pleasing to type on. The wide silver touchpad is nice, but the mouse buttons remain a little erratic. If you push them too far down in front, it’s hard to get a proper click.

This laptop also recieved a 4/5, but earned a Best Buy label from Laptop Magazine, and I can understand why. With its 12 cell battery it was able to last over five hours on a single charge. It has some pretty good features, including an independant video card for the gamers out there, and the price is not too rediculous either.
