HP Pavilion dv2-1030ea Pro Reviews

expertreviews‘s review Edit

The DV2 is a lightweight HD-capable laptop with a comfortable keyboard and large hard disk. Unfortunately, its battery life simply isn't good enough.

If ever there was a tale of two halves, then the HP Pavilion dv2-1030ea notebook is exactly that. The design, build quality, feature set and application performance are all top notch. Admittedly, there are a few minor complaints with the keyboard, trackpad and artwork that could easily be written off as personal preference, but then we got onto using the dv2 as a portable workhorse and that was when the wheels came off.

TechRadar UK‘s review Edit

While the Pavilion dv2-1030ea is a decent laptop with some nice features, in terms of power and specifications, it's expensive and worth looking elsewhere.

PC Pro‘s review Edit

AMD's low-cost portable platform makes its debut, clad in a rather alluring chassis. But is it a laptop or a netbook?

Pocket-lint‘s review Edit

As to whether you’ll like the dv2, and indeed whether it can be judged as a success or not, depends entirely on what you need out of a laptop. With limited everyday performance, it’s definitely not a machine you’ll be able to replace your home PC with, but for those with simple needs, or seeking a laptop primarily for the commute, it’s ideal.

Despite outstanding design and an excellent feature set, the HP Pavilion dv2 is let down by its disappointing battery life and some poor decisions in regards to specification and bundling. There's lots of promise here and if you're happy to invest in an extra battery this is a smart and practical machine, but it's not quite the genre defining product it could have been.
