CNET have published a review of the HP Pavilion dm4 multimedia laptop. 'As a close cousin of the 13-inch HP dm3, the new dm4 shares a similar metallic body. But, rather than the brushed-metal look of the dm3, this model has an etched pattern of angular lines--almost like Nazca lines--along the wrist rest and back of the lid. The gently rounded corners give the dm4 a soft, consumer-friendly look. The corners of the keyboard tray (and the four keys that sit closest to the corners) are similarly rounded, as is the oversized touch pad. The keyboard is similar to the flat-topped, widely spaced keys we've seen on recent HP systems such as the Pavilion dm3, although the larger 14-inch chassis allows for a better layout, including full-size arrow keys.'

Trusted Reviews have published a review of the HP Pavilion dv6-2113sa - 15.6in laptop. 'While it's always difficult to gauge build quality on a new product - it takes long term usage to get a full picture - our initial impressions are positive. HP has used decent quality plastics throughout and the large, chunky hinge inspires confidence. Only the slightly unsightly joins near the Tab and Caps Lock keys (mirrored on the opposite side) where different parts of the trim meet are cause for complaint, but it's mostly a cosmetic issue.'

Trusted Reviews have published a review of the HP Pavilion dm3-1020ea - 13.3in laptop. 'While the dm3 is in fact larger than the dv2, based as it is on a 13.3in display vs. the 12.1in of the dv2, the shared lineage is clear to see. The dm3 has the same alluringly slim chassis and elegant lines that instantly drew us to the dv2; it's just a bit larger and, at 1.9kg, heavier. It's prettier, too. Gone is the ghastly reliance on glossy black plastic; in is a chic-looking brushed aluminium adorning both the lid and body of the machine. It combines with the still glossy black bezel and faux-chrome trim to great effect, making this a machine that looks and feels a good deal more expensive than the £540 it'll set you back. It's a class act.'

Notebook Review have published a review of the HP EliteBook 8440w laptop. 'The HP EliteBook 8440w represents the HP's first 14-inch mobile workstation. For those who aren't already familiar with mobile workstations, these high-performance business laptops are different from typical notebooks because anything labeled as a "workstation" must meet specific hardware and software requirements in order to meet the industry standards for PCs designed for technical or scientific applications. In short, while there are many 14-inch business notebooks on the market this is the first 14-inch laptop that packs enough bells and whistles to be considered a "workstation."

A review of the HP Pavilion dv7-3065dx laptop has been posted over at CNET. 'The Pavilion dv7-3065dx is a supersized version of the 15.6-inch Pavilion dv6-1375dx. The larger Pavilion dv7 provides a screen that's about 1.7 inches larger (measured on the diagonal) and a body about 1.3 inches wider, 0.7 inches deeper, and just a hair thicker. The dv7 weighs 1.3 pounds more. The added width allows for a spacious keyboard and dedicated number pad; both felt a bit cramped on the smaller dv6. The only other design difference between the two: the dv7 features touch-sensitive media control keys in addition the mute, volume, and Wi-Fi on/off controls that compose the entirety of the dv6's touch-sensitive controls.

A review of the HP Pavilion dv7-3080us laptop has been posted over at PC Magazine. 'The Pavilion dv7-3080us features HP's standard Pavilion ID, with an imprint design on the lid and keyboard deck, chrome edges, and all surfaces buffed to a high gloss. The chassis is a deep brown color (HP calls it Espresso) with thin, curved pinstripes running across it, which are occasionally interrupted with a round shapes that look either like bubbles or, as my colleague John Delaney classified them, crop circles. I like the look of this particular Pavilion, but overall I'm not a fan of HP's current laptop design. I think its Pavilions are over designed, with too much polish added. The glossy surfaces look nice on store shelves, but they'll be covered in fingerprints and smudges by the end of the first day of owning one.'
