HP Pavilion DM1-4020SA

Good products and size

I bought this laptop purely because it had 4GB or RAM, and I was really looking forward to using a laptop without feeling the need to throw it out of the window in frustration, as I was feeling with my previous laptop that had 1GB of RAM. This is every...

Portability, battery life, media/office performance

Not great if you want to play games. But it's not meant to be a gaming laptop.

Really fast, everything you need and starting up is really fast

some videos couldn't play back properly whilst downloading or uploading.

Small and light

Excellent speakers...good quality sound reproduction. Screen clear, key board good.

Small and light, very good HD webcam and buttons arn't too hard to push

A bit slow when starting up

Combination of size, weight and performance at this price seems hard to match. Really pleased with overall package, some of the software is unnecessary but I would rather have it and remove it than not have the option. Works well with hp external DVD...

Only negative so far is that AC charger is larger than expected, but guess that must be due to higher demand on power than netbook.
