HP Pavilion dv7 Beats Edition

 

The HP Pavilion dv7 Beats Edition is a stylish and powerful 17in laptop with great battery life. But can it match the 17in MacBook Pro?

Very impressive battery life ; Stylish and relatively sleek ; Stays cool and quiet under load ; Decent screen

Slow hard drive ; No keyboard backlighting ; Glossy screen finish ; Screen is not Full HD ; Can get better specs for the money

The front houses a memory card reader while the right side hosts two USB 2.0 ports and the tray-loading Blu-ray drive. Wireless is handled by Bluetooth and Wi-Fi N, with an HD webcam taking care of video-calling duties.

HP Pavilion dv7-1000ea 17in Entertainment Notebook

 

17 inches of Blu-ray goodness for under £800 sounds too good to be true, but is it?

Getting onto the rest of the notebook's lower half, below the multimedia controls there is an expanse of perforated metal covering the speakers and part of the lower chassis. The rest of it is silver plastic, carrying on the squared pattern from the...

HP Pavilion dv7-6101sa review

 

The HP Pavilion dv7-6101sa is a big, slow and heavy 17in laptop, available for £700 or less.

While the price tag is inviting – and we’ve seen deals offering the dv7 for even fewer pounds than the £700 listed here – this HP is considerably bigger and slower than most modern laptops. Other components are more up-to-date, and build quality is not...

HP Pavilion dv7-6b04ea review

 

The HP Pavilion dv7-6b04ea has a very impressive set of specifications on paper - however, it doesn't live up to the tale of the tape. This laptop uses an AMD processor, the dv7's quad-core 1.8GHz A8-3510MX processor is backed up by 8GB of RAM yet only...

We're slightly disappointed by the performance of the HP in comparison to the other models, though it is indicative of the differences we see between Intel and AMD's processors in the WorldBench 6 suite. There are some real highlights though - the...
