HP Pavilion dv4-1425la Entertainment Notebook PC

Design:

The hp Pavilion dv4-1525 is a thin-and-light laptop computer offers the optimal combination of portability, performance, features, and cost. Power-tuned mobile processors deliver enough power to keep you working smoothly, and unlike ultraportables, most thin-and-light laptops have a more reasonably sized keyboard and display, a larger hard drive, and a built-in optical drive. Yes, they're more expensive than slightly larger, heavier mid-size laptops, but if you need maximum productivity in a portable package, this is the best choice.

HP Pavilion dv4-1525 is a model that can be classified perfectly as a portable, because have light weight it is easy to transport.

The Good: The HP Pavilion dv4-1425la delivers very good performance in an attractive, travel-friendly 14-inch chassis. You get a nice assortment of ports and features with this budget notebook, but a high resolution screen would put it over the top. Also has a long-lasting battery that becomes an attraction for the purchase of this PC.

The Bad: The battery is a bit heavy.

The bottom line: If you're the restless type, or simply away from electrical outlets for the majority of your day, you'll love the long battery life of the HP Pavilion dv4-1425al. Be warned: such battery life requires you to tote a laptop that's roughly a pound heavier than its 14-inch competitors.
