HP Pavilion dv5

...out but because its a HP (reputable brand) and it's nice and shiny. By this time I'd resigned myself to having to pay for the bundled Windows Vista install which to be fair has some uses, for example updating my Tom Tom and well....probably some other things. Despite carrying out a fair amount of research into Linux compatible laptops I'd actually thrown caution to the wind as I didn't actually find anything about this model, so in the spirit of ...
...is of the usual high HP standard with a robust looking hinge mechanism. The whole unit is glossy (did I mention how shiny it is?) black for the lid, and a chrome look to the body. The only area where I feel the build quality is let down is with the CD/DVD/Blu-Ray ray door which could do with being a bit more robust and opening/closing more positively. The 1280x800 display is bright and vivid although the gloss finish may present issues with reflections ...

Review of HP Pavilion dv5

...is an added bonus, with HP battery check and HP health check, you can easily locate and solve any problems with your laptop whether you’re a technophobe or not. The laptop may also include Norton Internet Security trial for added safety, whether you choose to keep it or not is up to you. In the unlikely even your DV5 ever does go wrong, HP have brilliant customer support and are willing to pick it up and repair it so long as your warranty is still ...
...is great, with a metallic grey and black look it feels clean and modern. The actual quality of the screen is fantastic and is perfect for viewing photos, videos etc, as well as having an inbuilt webcam and microphone. Also just above the keyboard is a media bar, which features all the icons you need in a thin touch screen bar that adds to the effect. By no means do you have to use this as there is a media remote included with the laptop. To conclude ...

Review of HP Pavilion dv5

...high quality affordable laptop, the HP pavilion dv5 doesn't fail to please in looks, performance or price. In terms of look and design, flashy is a good word for it. It has a glossy black case which shines in the light, then you open it. The keyboard-surround is split horizontally: the bottom half is very light silver with a white check pattern, and the upper half perforated silver plastic. Around the edge of the laptop, there is a chrome-effect ...
...a finish that is so reflective you can see your face in it. This is the 'bling-bling' of the laptop world. It also feels pretty solid, I don't think you would be able to break it easily and I have faith in it's durability and robustness. It is also quite light, weighing 2.65kg, not bad for a laptop it's size. Ok, so onto function: ==Input devices== The keyboard is pretty high quality, it is quite big for a laptop and doesn't leave you feeling ...

Review of HP Pavilion dv5

It is a solid machine and feels well built; the lid and wrist rest possess little of the flex found on other low-price laptops, but I don't enjoy the glossy finish on the touch pad that much.The keyboard is roomy, but similar to the touch pad, the keys feature a glossy finish that aid the overall look but detract from actually typing. The performance is satisfying though. Generally, it worth the price. ...

Review of HP Pavilion dv5

This is my second laptop and i would say has to be one of the best products ive ever owned I use it every day and the amount of use i get out of it was worth the 699 pounds I paid for it. i can play all my favourite games and watch all my favourite movies. it came preinstalled with vista home premium which I wasn't to keen on to start with but am now able to use all its functions. The massive hard drive means i can keep my entire music collection ...
...memory. It also has a quick touch pad and a remote control which slots nicely into the side. And it means I can change song or film from a distance away. It's really light and is one of the best looking laptops ive seen. for the specs your buying you are getting an incredible deal, I got 4gb ram, 250 gb hard drive and a 2.0 GHz processor. Great buy ...

Review of HP Pavilion dv5

well, i got this laptop as an upgrade after my samsung was stolen, and, at £100 more than i paid for the samsung, i cant complain. marketed as an entertainment laptop, which means that it is great for films, music and photos, a whole new menu opens at the touch of one of the special glowing buttons on the top, near the screen. its fan is loud, but not overly so. the screen is nice and big, perfect for films. one of the only downsides is the battery ...
...will. multitasking is brilliant, only the occasional crash with very power intensive tasks, nothing major. the keyboard is slightly angled for better typing, and it certainly seems to help (or so im told by hp) well worth looking at for a good, not too expensive, and reliable laptop that works, and, with 4gb ram, damn fast. brilliant storage space, i get about 287gb out of 320, so altogether a functional, stylish, fingerprint-attractive laptop, ...
