Very good

7

out of 10

View score

The good: Strong set of specs for price; performance almost matches that of more expensive laptops; attractive 14.1-inch display; dual headphone jacks and fingerprint reader; includes most of the ports and connections home users need.

The bad: Average battery life with the standard six-cell battery; opting for an HDMI port means sacrificing a USB port.

The bottom line: The HP Pavilion dv2500 delivers an eye-catching case, a strong set of features, and solid performance at a lower price than competing systems. We recommend it for home or school use.

Poor product with known problems



Rating: 1 out of 10 (Abysmal)
Pros: Good while it lasts....
Cons: Lasts only for a year!!!
Opinion:
This laptop has a lot of known problems. I bought this laptop about 14 months ago and right now there is no display. HP says that the warranty is over. However this is not an issue specific to my laptop. Apparently there are some serious overheating and BIOS problems.

Lots of other users around the world have faced the same problem.

For more information, please visit the HP support forum at the link below;

Do not buy this laptop



Rating: 1 out of 10 (Abysmal)
Pros: None
Cons: Poor performance, faulty hardware
Opinion:
I have been using this model for a year now and its been really painful. The performance is really slow even with the best configuration and they load it with all the junk softwares possible and specially the worse one HP quick play.. I bet you can't find anything slower. It keeps crashing, bad support for graphics drivers.. search the problem related to display drivers stopped responding. Earlier it used to crash even on ancient games and now it doesn't even run for an hour. Got it fixed and same thing happened a week later..So my advice please stay away from it. HP support sucks and I would definitely advise you to buy some other model if you still prefer HP.
