HP Pavilion Ash Black 11.6" dm1-4010us Laptop PC with AMD Dual-Core E-450 Accelerated Processor and Windows 7 Home Premium 4.4 5 32 32
Great Portable Laptop for School This computer is perfect for my college student needs and more. It's small and portable, and it has a great battery-life (lasts all day for me). I have yet to run into anything that this little thing can't handle. It's fast, the keyboard is very very easy to type on, and it has many great features and shortcuts. The mouse pad scrolls and zooms with two fingers. There are keyboard keys for volume, mute, screen brightness, wireless, music playback, etc. The keys are spread out and quiet. The mouse pad is smooth and seamless, with a nice texture. The screen is great. The sound is quite amazing for such a small computer (it'll knock a Mac out of the water). There are ports for anything you would need, and I definitely do not miss having a disc drive. I love how sleek the outside of the computer is; it is matte charcoal and silver, and the lid closes to be pretty skinny. There is nothing that sticks out, like batteries do on some computers. The fan is on the left side instead of in the back, so it can sit on your lap and never get hot. I have run numerous programs at once, with many tabs open at a time, and this computer has no trouble keeping up with me. Before I purchased this, I was looking for a netbook, but I was nervous about their specs and their ability to keep up with my fast-paced computing. This laptop gives me all of the portability of a netbook, but I don't have to lose out on speed.I have absolutely no complaints about this computer. It's perfect for me, and I have already recommended it to friends. :) 01/22/2012
Notebook power in a netbook package This is my second DM1, both are great. This machine is awsome for school, very light yet powerfull. the battery life is outstanding. I use it for four hours straight and still have over 55% battery life remainining. The Beats audio is just icing on the cake, complimenting the other features. I thoought I would miss the dvd drive so I bought an external just in case and have used it only during initial set up to load some aftermarket software I already had, other than that it sits in a drawer. Today, almost anything you want is downloadable from the web virtually eliminating the need for a dvd drive. The DM1 loads surprisinglly fast for such a small processer configuration and has the power to run my voice recognition software. The screen is amazingly crisp and bright giving you good viewing experiance even watching HD movies. 01/22/2012
Great small laptop The dm1 is a great small computer. I use it for school, for taking notes, for web surfing, etc. It is much lighter than my other laptop, so it goes with me more often. 01/20/2012
Hmm... I read all the reviews and was so excited to get this product. As soon as I got it, I turned it on and set up. Then I opened a web browser and saw that there were lines on the screen. It showed up then disappeared. I turned off and turned it back on hoping that it was just for temporary thing. Unfortunately, there were still lines on the screen when using internet. I called HP for return. They said that they will send me a new one but I said no.Gave me a bad feeling for the product... 01/19/2012
