The HP dv3 is a compact little notebook, but for a Core i3 system it is expensive. That’s at least partly down to its unique feature: a 13.3in touchscreen, enabling you to control games and applications with the power of a simple prod. It’s a feature t...

The words “acquired taste” were seemingly invented for the HP Pavilion dv3-2230ea. Loading it up with a swirly design that has the distinct look of flowers isn’t going to be everyones idea of a lush laptop. But aside from the rather off kilter looks...

Laptops with touchscreens are nothing new. Take HP's own TX2, for example, or Toshiba's excellent Portege M750. The TouchSmart dv3 trumps them all, however, by adding an iPhone-like multitouch panel to the latest revision of its 13.3in chassis. So can...

With a bulky design and no clever multitouch apps, the dv3 isn't quite as revolutionary as the screen technology promises...

Recently we took our first look at the HP Pavilion dv3 range in the shape of the dv3-2055ea . We went away very impressed, particularly due to the excellent battery life, massive 500GB hard drive and generous features on offer given the £750 price. Now we...

If you're after portability and power then the 13in form factor has long been the best option. There have been numerous excellent examples in this arena over the last year or two, including the now discontinued Dell XPS M1330 , the outstanding Sony VAIO Z...

The budget-minded HP Pavilion dv3 laptop gets a lot of things right in its design and delivers just the right amount of style - not to mention supplying all the right ports to get your multimedia mobilised. But the HP Pavilion dv3 also has enough dr...
The HP Pavilion dv3 is a bit of an odd bird when it comes to an up-or-down recommendation. The performance is lacklustre on paper, but we didnt have any major holdups in everyday use. We didnt like the touchpad, which kept trying to second-guess our...

I recently reviewed the HP dm1, which comes packed with the AMD Fusion APU. While that 11.6” ultraportable is a decent performer for its size and price, those looking for a lot more power without sacrificing much in terms of price and size will want to...

When we last saw the HP Pavilion series, they had gone from shiny, metallic plastic, to still shiny metallic plastic, but with nice HP Imprint patterns on the notebook. The newest refresh however, bumps things up with yet more tweaks to the overall design...
Sleek and sexy design, Decent performance...
Short battery life...
