HP Pavilion Dv7

HP Pavilion Dv7 Introduction During the Christmas sales one can usually pick up a nice pair of three year old shoes that have been collecting dust for the past months as they were a dingy colour no one in their right mind wanted. Last Christmas I bought no such products that disappoint you after the first six minutes of usage - I bought the HP Pavilion DV7. First Impressions First impressions of the product were positive; it was from a reputable brand - Hewlett-Packard- that has years of experience in the I.T world, the price was attractive for the technology that was on offer (important to ... more

This notebook really stood out from many of the others I have owned. It has an incredible design and really looks cool, I am proud to use this in public. I have also found it very easy to transport being about the right size to fit into an average bag and weighing around 7.57 pounds. It runs on windows vista, something I was in two minds about when I bought the notepad. One the one hand, windows vista is a very fast, very efficient operating system. On the other hand it won't support alot of old software, so keep that in mind if you plan on buying this notebook. It has 4 USB ports, a full size ... more

I have to say I am very impressed by the functionality of this HP Pavillion. I have upgraded from a laptop which lasted 4 years and couldn't handle multiple windows running at once! As a buddging graphic designer on a budget, I wanted something that would be able to handle a lot of software running at the same time without slowing down or crashing. The looks are fantastic - very easy to use although I am still getting used to the FN button which now does the opposite as to what I expect (F5 Refresh is now FN+F5). Windows 7 is good - a few days to get used to everything but I now enjoy the ... more

So I purchased this HP DV7 at a BestBuy for $699.99. I will be explaining the the things I liked about this laptop and the things that I didn't really like. Then I will be rating it overall. This laptop imo is really great for the price. I am going to just say it right now, I would recommend it to many people. This fits for the movie type, music type, light gamer type, and a college student. When I first purchased this laptop I packed it with music and movies. The reason I recommend it for the music and movie type is because the size of the hard drive size. It is a 500 GB hard drive which ... more

The HP Pavilion is a behemoth of a laptop. With the titanium cover and 17.3 inch screen the laptop isn't very mobile. What it lacks in mobility it makes up in performance, the speed of the dv7 is lighting quick and could be even faster if upgraded. My dv7 has 6gb ram, i7 processor, 1tb hard drive, fingerprint ID, radeon premium graphics and much more which cost me around a thousand bucks. This laptop can run any game on virtually any setting, the graphics card is great and is customizable. This price is pretty hefty compared to a lot of other laptops, but you wont get a better deal than this ... more
