HP Pavilion dm4 Review

Our configuration of the HP Pavilion dm4 worked out to cost $979 (that is with a temporary price break from $1,079). Of those three, however, the HP dm4 has the slickest look, taking design elements, including a large multitouch touch pad, from the more expensive HP Envy series. That said, the default hard-drive speed is 7,200rpm for the HP and only 5,400rpm for the Lenovo. The middle-of-the-road multimedia laptops that come out of HP have always been excellent examples of the style. A similar part (a 1GB ATI Radeon 5450) is available for the customizable dm4, but it’ll add an extra $200 to the price. For $1,050, the Lenovo IdeaPad Y460 offers similar specs, but includes an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650.
