Reviewer: A. Chiccarello,
Anyone unhappy with this unit is nuts or spoiled as hell. Can't really find a complaint. Fast. Been using for over a month now problem free. Took it out of the box, turned it on, set it up, and started working, and remember saying out loud "I can't beleive I own this". Most computer hardware wise for the money I could find. Solid. Only thing that disappointed was that the HP Media Bundle has issues but the Windows programs are reliable. I like to install my own media software anyway so I still give this machine 5 stars.
A Surprisingly Solid PC From HP
Review Date: March 26, 2010

I have used the HP Pavilion DV7 for the 17 months now. It was purchased by my company as I would never have considered purchasing such a "cheap" laptop. I only preface with this bit of nerd snobbery so you can know this review is written by someone who hasn't touched a notebook under $2K for over a decade and has rather high PC performance standards:
In short, this is an AMAZING steal for the price. The technical specs are superior to what you'll find in the more "elite" market and the performance of this PC is really impressive. In fact, I'm leaving my company and am only on Amazon writing this review as I prepare to purchase another of these models for my personal use...
PROS:
I originally thought I'd only use it for work (aka spreadsheets, etc) but started using it for video watching, gaming, movie burning, etc because it was working so smoothly. I'm a very hard PC user. I don't like to close applications and am always multi-tasking as in: several Microsoft Excel spreadsheets; a few Word documents; at least one Project file; iTunes playing in the background; Outlook running and checking mail every 15 seconds; Google Chrome open with 7 tabs; and Mozilla Firefox open with 7 more tabs. This PC has performed expertly for a year and never even paused despite my harsh use. As in, no crashes, no hesitation to respond to a click despite aforementioned heavy (ab)use and because it's worth repeating--no crashes.
CONS:
The only thing I have to report, is after 17 months of solid use, I've worn the "E" off (key/hardware works fine) and the "R" is on her way out too!
Although I had no issue with mine, I feel compelled to report that of the 4 PCS my company purchased, one did end up with a fried motherboard. To be fair, that particular employee was prone to visiting...websites of ill-repute...and could have caught himself a virus (ironic) that turned the fans off.
Awesome Laptop!

I upgraded to this laptop from an old Toshiba. I was reluctant to go with an HP but I thought I would give it a try. I have to say that i love this laptop. It has more than enough power to get the job done and the 17.3 in. LED display is just beautiful. The battery life is also very surprising, I can get about 3-4 hours (compared to 1-2 hours on my Toshiba) of battery time before I have to find a power outlet :) The cooling fan can get a little noisy while playing a game but that is understandable. Also, the HP logo in the back can be VERY bright in a dark room (I don't know if you can turn that off or not). All in all, this is a great computer to upgrade to.
Great PC!!!

I am somewhat PC-Challenged (just so you know) but after checking [...], [...], Walt Mossberg and Kim Komando...I decided on this HP Pavilion because it has:
1. 17.3" LED back-lit screen (I decided I'd rather have the large screen rather than a smaller--more portable--model).
2. Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit (thus avoiding the Vista "hassles").
3. 4 GB Memory (Mossberg recc'd minimum 2 GB).
4. 500 GB Hard Drive (Mossberg recc'd minimum 250 GB). Plus it is 7200 RPM (which is supposed to be "faster" than the usual 5400 RPM).
5. Dual Core 2.56 GHz Processor (dual core is supposed to be "better").
6. 2300 MB discrete (which is supposed to be better than an integrated) Graphics Card.
7. CD/DVD Burner with "Label Maker".
8. Built-in Webcam and mike.
9. Wireless 802.11 b/g/n with Bluetooth
10. HDMI Output (which, when connect to my HDTV, will give me a better picture than the usual VGA Output).
11. Premium Surround-Sound with a SubWoofer (not sure how important that really is...but really didn't cost anything extra).
12. A Remote Control for PC if watching it on my HDTV (again, not sure how important that really is...but, again, really didn't cost anything extra).
What more could I want/need...for barely over $800!!??!!

This is a great machine for anyone looking for an entertainment machine,or desktop replacement. The price was great and windows 7 is pretty easy to deal with. A backlit keyboard would be nice though, but not that big of a deal.

Hello, My name is Peter OBrien and I would be lost without my laptop computer. I am sure that you feel that same way.
Of course if you buy the wrong laptop for your specific needs then it can be a nightmare for you. If you buy a latop with no enough memory or an old processor than things will move very slowly for you and that is a bad thing.
You need your info fast and waiting around for the computer when you have other things to do is not a good idea.
When I was purchasing my laptop, I was all over the internet looking for the right laptop. I wish there was one site that had reviews and specifications of the laptops. Well, I could not find one, so I made a site for you.
Here you can find all kinds of laptops with specifications and customer reviews so you can find and purchase the laptop that is right for you.
