HP Pavilion dv5046EA Review

TrustedReviews takes a look at the Pavilion dv5046EA from HP, and wonders if a budget machine can shake its lack of appeal, or if it has more than just a nice look.

When you look at the dv5046EA you don’t instantly recognise that it’s a budget machine - the finish is sleek, the design attractive and the feature set good. In fact you’d be forgiven for thinking that this was a machine costing over the £1,000 mark. In fact, most people that I showed this notebook to were amazed to hear that it will only set you back £699 including VAT! Of course the big question is whether the dv5046EA lives up to its good looks and feature set, and most importantly, whether you really do get what you pay for.

In the end the dv5046EA manages to earn an overall rating of eight out of ten thanks to being a great value, but they warn that battery life is not very good on the machine.
