Reviews
Now that the HP Pavilion dm1z has arrived, the budget notebook space has become a lot more competitive. With AMD's new Fusion processor, HP has created a laptop that, for $479, provides a better balance of performance and endurance than the Nvidia Ion-powered Asus Eee PC 1215N. It also gives you more graphics oomph than Intel ULV notebooks and earlier AMD budget ultraportables. While you'll squeeze out a few more frames in some games on Ion, the more powerful dual-core AMD processor in the dm1z lets you accomplish more than an Atom chip ever could. Not only that, but you get 6.5 hours of battery life in a very stylish package.

HP doesn't call the Pavilion dm1 a netbook-it's the Pavilion dm1 Entertainment PC- but it squarely competes against netbooks on size and battery life. Our take? Its performance is so much better, and its media-playback capabilities are so much more capable, that it wouldn't be fair to saddle it with the moniker of netbook. For about $100 more than an entry-level netbook, you can have a multi-talented portable with virtually none of the common netbook frustrations.

Coming back to the HP Pavilion dm1, it does represent an extremely value-packed proposition considering the price and all the components packed in. If office work, browsing the net and watching movies is all that you're going to do, there is no potential alternative in the market representing as full an experience as the dm1.
