4.0 out of 5 stars Great laptop at a great price, December 10, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: HP Pavilion DM3-1040US 13.3-Inch Silver Laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium) (Personal Computers)
At $649 after rebate I think this laptop hits a real sweet spot in the 13" market! I've had it for a week now and am really enjoying it. I also purchased a Samsung slim DVD writer since this mahcine doesn't include an optical drive.

Pros:

- Runs very cool with the Intel processor - have never had the fan kick on
- No problem streaming video, and has an HDMI for for your HDTV
- Best looking notebook for the price
- Very fast and quiet hdd
- I have to admit I really am enjoying Windows 7 - I skipped the whole Vista thing
- The back lit LED screen is beautiful
- With 4GB RAM the system multi-taks very well
- Battery Life - I get 5 to 6 hrs with my custom settings, cross country trips on a plane are now a reality
- The keyboard is great to type on, although the use of a fn key to use f1-f12 isn't for me

Cons:

- Quite a bit of crapware and bloatware to get rid of
- The track pad leaves something to be... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Battery life is more like 4hr; buggy touch pad. Five stars for the rest, January 4, 2010
This review is from: HP Pavilion DM3-1040US 13.3-Inch Silver Laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium) (Personal Computers)
I don't know if you've noticed, but dunking a product on Amazon usually gets you more "No" votes. That said, I am compelled to write this review as I believe that HP did an "evil thing" when they rolled out this product.

Before I start bitching, here are the GOOD:
***Killer looks (five stars are not enough)
***Great screen (never feels like I am looking at a 13.3" screen)
***one of the best keyboards I had used in a long time
***Powerful processor with plenty of RAM (doesn't struggle even when I keep 10 applications simultaneously open)
***Silent
***Four USB's and an HDMI out (on such a small body)
***Solid build.

Then there are the BAD:
***Buggy touch pad. Some quick fix solutions are being discussed on the forums. The issue seem to be a software bug. If so, it's just a matter of time before HP would fix it (I wonder why HP hadn't done it already; I'll grit my teeth and wait).
***Mirror surface... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Great fully functional laptop in a netbook size, February 1, 2010

This review is from: HP Pavilion DM3-1040US 13.3-Inch Silver Laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium) (Personal Computers)
I understand most of the people taking this unit out of the box have a certain level of expectation, but not all computers have up to date drivers and bios updates installed from the factory. Most if not all of the issues addressed within the reviews for this product are non existent in a fully updated unit with all the current offerings from HPs site. My unit received early 2010 has the very first bios while the update offered is 12 revisions later.

I use this machine as an always on solution that uses low power to keep the power bill down. I use it as a media center, magicjack always on phone system ( throughout my house) and for file transfers. When im lazy I take it to bed to surf before sleep.

Pros
- Appearance. Lid and palm rest is brushed aluminum and looks top notch. I have not seen a laptop that looks this good, friends and family LOVE the look of the computer.

-Noise. Near silent. I read reviews with people complaining about the fan... Read more
