 Excellent Computer for an Excellent Price February 10, 2010

I've owned my computer for almost a week now, and I'm absolutely loving it. For the money I almost bought an Hp with a T6600 processor and 320GB hard drive etc etc. I bought this for the same price as the other hp and got MORE memory and a better processor. Why wouldn't you want an upgrade of 180 GB hard drive for free? If your a student and like to have lots of music, videos and play light gaming and still have tons of room for your homework and projects, this is a great computer.
I also love how its 14" monitor, so I can take it anywhere and fit it into any bag. It has a very sleek and glossy exterior. A little bit of work to keep clean, but that's no reason not to buy a computer. The speakers are great for a laptop. I was actually surprised how clear sounds and music was. As with most HP laptops, you get the lightscribe burner, which is great, but it also comes with a disc replacement thing so if you don't care to use a disc drive, you can remove it and save some weight. But really it doesn't weigh that much.
The only downfall I have with this computer is the slightly low battery life. I think a little bit of that might be my fault cause I just plugged in and played rather than letting the battery charge fully first before I started playing with it.
Great laptop for the price.
Many features in a compact package -- a great choice! May 26, 2010

I did mountains of research before committing to a replacement for my dead Sony (second dead Vaio = end of brand loyalty), and I chose this HP for its performance, value, and seeming sturdiness. The new i3 processor is fantastic and there is plenty of RAM to handle multitasking. I haven't even had to pace myself with my computing whims -- I'm downloading, word processing, virus-scanning, and listening to music without worrying about overloading the system. What I like most about this laptop is the big bright display, which for me was important in the switch from 15.4 to 14.1 -- nothing else in this price range compares. Finally, the machine is built well compared to others in this price range (I'm looking in your direction Asus and Acer).
Some reviewers have mentioned overheating, and I was apprehensive about this -- and after buying I was constantly monitoring the temp to see if a return was in my immediate future. But really it's not so bad, better than my last Sony, and I do believe that having the i3 processor (still blazing fast, mind you) minimizes this problem in this configuration. But if heat is your number one concern, sacrifice more computing power and go for one of the new super-mobile types with the dainty processors. They will stay cooler of course.
Overall, I am extremely pleased with this purchase and would recommend this HP laptop to my friends, family, and to all of you!

I switched from a Mac to this PC, and I'm very glad I did. Windows 7 is pretty great. There's a decent amount of junk software preloaded, but also some useful software (media organizers/ players, etc), and useless but fun games.
Other than that, what's not to like, especially now that it's $50 less than the $700 I paid for it? It's 14", so it's transportable. Has a DVD drive, a ton of memory, is really fast. Multiple programs run easily. Battery lasts about three hours, but can last longer with wireless/ speakers turned off.
In contrast to some negative reviews, I have had zero problems with the computer overheating. The only reasons I can think to not purchase it are if you wanted either Bluetooth or Bluray capabilities directly installed, as it doesn't have either.
H.P. Pavilion excellent choicel March 26, 2010

I'm still a satisfied Toshiba customer. However, after carefully researching specs and reviews of other choices, the HP Pavilion was the best buy. HP Pavilion DV4-2161NR 14.1-Inch Laptop (Black) Faster RAM (DDR3), huge Hard Drive (500 GIG), and a 2.13 Processor. The cost was a little more than I planned, but the trade off for satisfaction will be worth it. The only issues has been the 64 bit OS. Although not the fault of the computer, I haven't been successful in getting Microsoft 2003 Office suite to load. My only concern was when Norton's was doing some maintenance the hard drive was quite noisy. Other than that it runs quiet. I haven't tested the burning features. Although my experience on cam-coders is limited, camera quality appears above average. Sound is impressive and the ability to adjust the sound by touching a lighted control is a great feature. You can turn off the wireless with a simple touch also. Battery life is only fair. Over all this is a outstanding laptop with desk top features.

This is my second laptop after my kids spilled water on a previous similar model. I recieved the laptop yesterday and it works like a charm. I love the removable CD Drive for less weight. The color is great although its a finger print magnet. The sound is great and whats better is the price. HP are making very excellent laptops at affordable prices.
