 Good personal laptop but short battery life April 26, 2010
Geoff Hazel (Seattle, WA USA)

I wanted a laptop for cruising the internet and general purpose use. I don't do gaming. This laptop fit the bill in nearly ever respect, but I was quite disappointed by the short battery life. It seems to discharge at a rate of about 1% per minute, so that gives 1.5 hrs of on-battery use. Yeah, you could extend the uptime by dimming your display but that makes it quite difficult to read. I'd say, if you want this laptop, plan on spending from 75 to 150 more for a 12 cell battery - prices vary depending on if you get it from HP or aftermarket.
Lots of people have commented about the metallic touchpad but I don't find it an issue.
I love the touch sensitive volume control and mute button. Very handy, no fumbling around looking for the right key or key combo to adjust volume or mute.
Lightscribe works as advertised, kinda fun to make CD's and label them, but it does take a while (5-10 minutes).
I was tempted to give it just 3 stars (It's OK) vs 4 (I like it) and decided on 4 due to the value delivered.
 LAPTOP CAUGHT ON FIRE! April 11, 2010

My girlfriend bought the HP pavilion dv4 a little over a year ago. Two days ago on a cold morning, I turned on the unit, and the laptop itself started smoking. We saw a small flame underneath the laptop, and immediately unplugged the charger and removed the battery. I unscrewed the panel and took a peek into where the fire started, and it looks like an overheated microchip caused the fire. A microchip overheating from a cold start boggles me. I'll be contacting HP in the next couple of days and see what they have to say about this.

It looks much like an older model of the HP laptop we purchased a few years ago, except there are a few key differences. While the hardware seems to be more powerful, all of the possible advantages of that are destroyed by the black hole that is windows 7. The touch pad is separated from the buttons and is awkward, but that's not nearly as irritating as a touch based switch for internet. That means there's no manual override and viruses can remotely activate the internet as soon as my computer turns on - that makes me feel extra safe.
The mute button can with the wave of the hand, activate and not deactivate until you shut down and start over. This is an issue related to powering down and accidentally pushing buttons you aught not.
There's also an irritating nightlight that NEVER EVER shuts off unless the computer is turned off completely. This of course makes me feel extra GREEN and must definitely save energy in some other dimension where Earth and Reality don't coexist. As usual the sound plugs are in the front, rather than the side, making it more like a desktop, rather than a computer that sits on your lap. This is an issue for anyone who uses a laptop the way most people do, but is not a problem unique to HP.
