HP (Hewlett-Packard) Pavilion dv3-1000 13.3" Notebook - Turion X2 RM-72 2.1GHz - Bronze

Great machine

I agree with the other reviewers, I just received mine about a month ago and it is small, light and packed with great features and performance. I customized mine with the slot CD player, backlit keyboard, 64 bit windows and 9 cell battery. Only complaint is the keyboard viewing; as the other reviewer mentions, it is difficult to make out the letters when typing and the backlit keyboard is a must....

Only complaint is the keyboard viewing; as the other reviewer mentions, it is difficult to make out the letters when typing and the backlit keyboard is a must. The battery life with the 9 cell battery has been very good in my book; 4-5 hours. For some reason I have some bugs with internet explorer freezing up, but I personally like to use the free Mozilla browser by Firefox anyway; only thing it doesn't work for is remote desktop.

Top Secured NB

I researched many NB's, and this one brought up my attention with its remarkable features, fingerprint reader and slot loading DVD burner. This is the competitors envy! GREAT JOB HP!

AWESOME!

I purchased this package already put together because i wanted to get it quickly...all I can say is that it is the best of all worlds in a notebook.

It's lighter at under 4 lbs than my 17" and so much more powerful than my 10" netbook which is only good for email in my opinion. This powerhouse...

I purchased this package already put together because i wanted to get it quickly...all I can say is that it is the best of all worlds in a notebook. I have a 10" netbook and a 17" notebook and this bronze monster beats both of them in so many ways. It's lighter at under 4 lbs than my 17" and so much more powerful than my 10" netbook which is only good for email in my opinion. This powerhouse handles my Adobe Masters Collection like Photoshop CS4, Dreamweaver CS4, After Effects and Premier Pro CS-4 adequately without all the weight of the 17" monster I used to lug arround. Screen quality is excellent. My only complaint is this pre-built version didn't come with the lighted keyboard which you really need in low light situations. I have to say for the price it beats the notebooks I've spent twice as much on. Buy this if you want a light weight "do it all" business travel notebook.

One really good traveler

I have been using this laptop for approx 2 months and it is one really fine box. Nothing about it I do not like. I have special ordered another with max processor installed and also the lighted keyboard. My only use on this laptop is for internet and email access. The size is really nice to pack and travel with. As a corporate airplane pilot, I have a limited amount of space in which to place my...

I have been using this laptop for approx 2 months and it is one really fine box. Nothing about it I do not like. I have special ordered another with max processor installed and also the lighted keyboard. My only use on this laptop is for internet and email access. The size is really nice to pack and travel with. As a corporate airplane pilot, I have a limited amount of space in which to place my private items, and this box really fits all my needs. I have tried nearly every smaller/lighter laptop available, but none meets my desires as well as this unit.
