HP Pavilion dm1z user reviews (fall 2011)

Pros -Battery life
-Weight
-Sound

Cons -Delay in typing
-Gets way too hot, even with CoolSense
-It has SO much bloatware, but even after removing most of it the machine still runs slow.
-Graphics are terrible, video gets choppy

Summary I travel quite a bit so I needed a little computer to do on-the-go writing and light Photoshop work. After reading mostly good reviews about this computer I thought it was worth a shot, but it wasn't. Granted, I got mine refurbished, but WOW what a piece of junk. Also not as light as most netbooks/ultrabooks these days. It's probably worth it just to save up for a pricier, more efficient machine.

Pros Ultra Portable. Worked pretty descent in the beginning.

Cons One red pixel stays on not covered under warranty ( have to have 5) Left speaker sounds like it is blown out. only works sometimes. Bloatware all over the place. Don't like having programs installed that I didn't install. Dead to me now.

Pros - decent screen

Cons - machine is slow, very slow
- battery life is short
- gets very hot
- touchpad extremely slow

Summary This is my 4th laptop, had already 2 IBM and a Dell laptop and it seems that these 3 laptops all have much better batteries than this HP. This laptop is also very unresponsive and touchpad seems sometimes to fail. Called HP support and so far, no answer. One thing for sure: I'll never buy HP again. Period.

Pros Lightweight, nice looking, good processor for graphics work and light gaming.

Cons fragile, slick and shiny case that's hard to hold

Summary The display bezel feels like laminated paper and easily slips out of place, and the case does not the have sexy texture that the description shows. I had to buy some rubberized tape to put on the lid just so I wouldn't constantly worry about dropping it. And of course the glossy finish is the traditional HP "fingerprint magnet" variety.

Overall, It's a great travel notebook that you'll have to treat gently if you want to keep it looking pretty.
