HP Pavilion dv5-1000ea review

Verdict

A well built and comfortable machine blessed with striking looks and a great price.

Review Date: 26 Nov 2008

Reviewed By: Matthew Sparkes

Price when reviewed: £574 (£660 inc VAT)

Overall Rating
5 stars out of 6

But, if outright performance and gaming doesn't matter to you and the gaudy, glitzy styling suits, then the HP is a perfectly viable alternative.
