HP Pavilion DM1-4109AU Laptop (AMD Dual Core/2 GB/320 GB/Windows 7)

Caveat > The processor is a dual core 1.65GHz. So do not expect swift performance. But, its still fast enough. (Was using a Core2Duo 2.1GHz and could feel the difference) > If you feel RAM is not enough, add another one in the free slot. (Max 8GB allowed) > No DVD drive but, external one will do The positives > Good battery backup (Reason small display and that too LED) Main benefit is because of auto brightness adjustment yes, just like in top end smartphones. > LED HD display is great > Beats edition audio is wonderful > Fantastic graphics > Of course the size of the unit is small and very easy to carry around > Full size island style keyboard is good to use > Track pad is responsive and one can change the settings as per requirement > Quickweb is a big gain > Evernote, Skype and Windows Live Essentials come pre-installed The negatives > The front cover is prone to fingerprints. Always have a soft cloth in your bag > Takes some time to get used to gestures and multi-touch in track pad. Its not that responsive for multi-touch and gestures alone. > Its too light. Be careful when handing it. > Loads of games come pre-installed. > Windows 7 Home Basic, customization of UI is not possible Summary Value for money is the phrase to describe. If expectation is to do casual browsing, document and spreadsheet handling and some office work, happily add it to your cart. In addition you also get a good audio-visual experience.

power machine with power battery and class display, although i have not much played with the device now as bought just 3 days back but i m lovin it. sleek class design, feels unique among all. i was in doubt with sony first but seems now satisfied as i have saved some thousand plus got better sound and low maintenece than sony. overall see both sony vaio and DM1, and you will get difference. if you are not sony lover.
