The good: Attractive design; big, comfortable keyboard; decent display; good multimedia features, including a double-layer DVD burner and a remote control; plays discs and music without booting the OS.
The bad: Poor performance; no TV tuner; average battery life; lacks dedicated video memory for high-end gaming.
The bottom line: Don't want an enormous desktop replacement but long for solid entertainment and computing features and performance? The affordable and well-designed HP Pavilion dv4000 delivers.
