Digital Trends have published a review of the HP Pavilion g6 laptop. 'Measuring up to 1.4 inches thick, and weighing in at 5.5 pounds, the Pavilion g6 isn't the easiest laptop to lug about town. It is too large to fit in many messenger bags, but most backpacks with a laptop compartment can handle it. Rated at just 47Wh, the small six-cell battery isn't sufficient to meet the needs of road warriors. HP's use of older Intel processors only worsens the problem, as they are less efficient than newer second-gen Core products. Battery life during the Battery Eater Reader's Test was just four hours and two minutes. Battery Eater Standard, which simulates a intense workload including 3D graphics, drained the battery in about an hour and thirty minutes.'

PC Magazine have published a review of the HP Elitebook 8560p. 'The feature set is an excellent mix of the old and new. For corporations that rely heavily on legacy devices (and their connectors), the 8560p ships with a Serial port, VGA, FireWire, ExpressCard, and RJ11 modem jack. Security (and ease of access) features such as a SmartCard and fingerprint readers are also present. And of course, there's the future-proof stuff: Among the five USB ports are two that are USB 3.0 (which is roughly 10 times faster than USB 2.0) and one with eSATA. A DisplayPort located in the back can stream both audio and video to an external flat panel. The Dell E6420, on the other hand, uses a similar technology in HDMI. The 8560p has the gamut of wireless connections, including 3G and LTE. An HD webcam, the kind that can display 720p video, is found in its usual spot above the screen.'

Trusted Reviews have published their review of HP Envy 14 Beats Edition laptop. 'Paired with a set of Monster Beats Solo headphones certified by Dr. Dre, the 1195ea comes in a sexy combination of red and black to match. The lid is now a matt black affair with the HP logo attractively highlighted in glossy black, though the massive red 'b' (for 'Beats') is a bit overbearing and could have done with being either more subtle or backlit. Fingerprints are also a bit of an issue, but not nearly as much as they would have been with a glossy black plastic finish. Opening the laptop up, its insides are even more attractive. Along with Apple, HP realizes the value of minimalism, and very little breaks the 1195ea's sleek black lines. The screen is of the 'borderless' variety, meaning a single sheet of glass across the screen and bezel makes it appear seamless - though it also ups the reflections to frankly distracting levels.'

Notebook Review have published a review of the HP Pavilion dm3t laptop. 'Build quality is on par with what we've seen from the rest of the HP Pavilion notebooks and HP mini netbooks. The plastics used in the chassis are durable and thick enough to prevent flex or cracking under pressure. The plastic screen lid does an okay job protecting the screen but the middle of the lid does bend inward under firm pressure. The lid also features a rubber-like matte black paint job which is great for avoiding those fingerprints that show up on glossy notebooks. The screen hinges offer enough tension to hold the screen in place but are loose enough so you can open the laptop with one hand.'

PC Magazine have published a review of the HP Pavilion dv7-4272us laptop. 'In terms of appearance, the Pavilion dv7-4272us bears a strong resemblance to the HP dv7-4183cl. It has the same aluminum chassis, with an identical laser etched design stretched across the lid and palmrest. It has the same chiclet keyboard and number pad as the dv7-4183cl, and a wide clickpad, though the multitouch support was improved from the previous iteration. Unlike the touchpad on the HP dv7-4183cl, which was marred by problems with sensitivity and poor multitouch implementation, the current iteration benefits from a driver update, and worked simply and smoothly for me.'

PC Magazine have published a review of the HP Pavilion dv6-3243cl laptop. 'The 15.6-inch widescreen has a 1,366 by 768 resolution, which will get you 720p HD viewing, but not True HD 1080p. Audio quality is fine for YouTube viewing and maybe the occasional movie, but the audiophile will want external speakers or one of HP's Envy 14 laptops with Beats Audio system. The full-size keyboard sports chiclet or island style keys--each key is a neat, isolated square. On either side of the keyboard are several quick-keys to help your navigating experience. The left side sports a calculator, browser, printer, e-mail, and dock button. The right has more browser-based keys like page up, page down, end (of page), and home page button.'

CNET have published a review of the HP Pavilion dm1 laptop. 'The designs of 11-inch laptops run the gamut from plastic cheapies to brushed aluminum works of art, but the HP Pavilion dm1 is clearly more focused on what's going on under the hood. The body is made of plastic, and looks and feels it, although it has a nicely curved shape and patterned lid that fits in with HP's current design aesthetic. A large battery bump protrudes upward right at the hinge between the chassis and screen, and the entire package is thick and bulky. It isn't actually ugly at all; it just feels a bit unwieldy. But perhaps we've been spoiled by thin ultraportables from Lenovo, Apple, and others. The available space is put to good use, however, with a large island-style keyboard that goes all the way to the left and right edges of the keyboard tray and an oversize clickpad.'

Trusted Reviews have published a review of the HP TouchSmart tm2-1010ea laptop. 'This 12.1in laptop's key feature is its 1,280 x 800, multi-touch capacitive screen with Wacom-enabled pen input for drawing and writing. Joining it are switchable, discrete AMD Radeon graphics for gaming and graphics acceleration, and a brushed metal lid and palm-rest with beautifully etched patterns. Is it enough to make this the best convertible tablet laptop available? In the US it's completely configurable, with specifications up to an ultra low voltage (CULV) Core i5-470UM, Mobility Radeon HD5450 graphics, 8GB of RAM, a 640GB hard drive and Windows 7 Professional, not to mention an external Blu-ray drive - that's enough to put many similarly-sized laptops to shame.'

PC Magazine have published a review of the HP Pavilion dv6-3122us laptop. 'The complete line of Pavilion laptops has gotten a recent makeover, and the new design has a simple elegance to it. The dv6-3122us's lid is has a metallic coating that HP calls "champagne," but it looks more like matte silver to me--a subtle design is laser-etched across it. Perhaps the only unsubtle feature of the dv6-3122us is the HP logo in a lower corner of the lid that lights up when the laptop is in use. The lid's design carries over to the palm rest and keyboard deck, which is truly minimalist with just a power button and touchpad to accompany the chiclet-style keyboard. The keyboad and touchpad are both black, which offer a pleasing contrast against the lighter color of the surrounding chassis.'

Laptop Magazine have published a review of the HP Envy 17 laptop. 'The Envy 17 shares the same minimalist-chic design as the smaller Envy 14, including a rock-solid taupe chassis made of aluminum and magnesium. A few touches, such as a paisley-esque pattern of raised bumps on the lid and palm rest, and HP's glowing logo on the lid, mark this as a premium laptop. Between the machine's durable feel and details such as quiet keys (more on that later), the Envy 17 feels like a luxury laptop. At 7.5 pounds, the Envy 17 is a reasonable weight for a notebook this size, although you won't want to do more than tote it around the house (and then, you'll need the AC adapter, as you'll see in the battery section). With a maximum height of 1.5 inches, the Envy 17 also feels thick, especially compared to Apple's 17-inch MacBook Pro, which is just 0.98 inches thin.'
