Customer Rating :
Rating: 3.6



Product Description

Stay more comfortable with HP CoolSense technology on the HP Pavilion dm1-4010us Entertainment PC. This ultra compact notebook lets you control the cooling so heat is directed away from your lap. Also, hear what you've been missing with Beats Audio. The dm1 is a great choice for students and business travelers because it's more powerful than a netbook and more portable than a laptop. Integrated Bluetooth helps you sync your HP laptop to other digital devices, like your smartphone or desktop PC, without using cables. Plus, print, e-mail and browse the web wirelessly using built in Wi-Fi. Edit documents and watch videos on the 11.6 inch diagonal high definition LED backlit display. The HP Pavilion dm1-4010us Entertainment PC weighs just 3.52 lbs and is about 1 inch slim, which makes it easy to carry. The HP Soft touch Imprint finish with the pinwheel design in ash black gives this HP laptop plenty of style, too. Video chat in low light environments using the integrated HP TrueVision HD webcam, plus transfer photos from a memory card to your PC using the digital media reader. And if you want to watch DVDs, pair your HP notebook with an external optical drive that can be plugged one of the USB ports.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything I wanted it to be, October 16, 2011

This review is from: HP Pavilion dm1-4010us (11.6-Inch Screen) Laptop- Gray (Personal Computers)
I got this HP to replace my Toshiba 13.3" netbook that finally BSOD'd after 3 years. I was very happy with my Toshiba and honestly afraid I wouldn't like this HP, but it was time for an upgrade. My previous lappy before the Toshiba was an HP DV(don't remember what the numbers were!) and I have a HP desktop, so I'm familiar with the brand and durability.
A few things: I mainly use this computer for the internet. I almost always have 2 browsers open with 4-5 tabs open in each of them (I play a lot of those stupid flash games on facebook and may have 4 up at once without any issues) and have never had lagging, except when my comcast was wigging out. I watch a lot of youtube and have only once experienced a choppy video, after which my comcast promptly went down for 3 hours (pretty sure the computer didn't have anything to do with that!). I have installed Photoshop CS3 (I know, I'm outdated, but that program is freaking expensive!) and used it almost daily since getting my computer a... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, not great, but better with a reformat and re-install (aka: "Sledgehammer"), December 13, 2011

This is the second iteration of HP's dm1z 11" AMD powered netbook. The first one had great reviews, boasting excellent graphics for a netbook (even better than many low-cost laptops) and amazing battery life. The latest model, the dm1-4010us has a newer but similar processor and physical redesign.

While HP might not include a lot of 3rd party bloatware on their machines, they certainly have a lot of 1st party crap that the computer would run fine - if not better - without. As a computer science student, I have access to some free software from Microsoft. Luckily, that includes Windows 7 Home Premium. I tried to keep the computer stock, but the combination of excess software and four partitions (one recovery, one for HP's software, one for the operating system, one for the bootloader - which is impossible to avoid) was too much to bear.

First, with stock software:

The computer was laggy at times. Boot time was slow and some programs took a long time to... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Great net book - loaded with crapware, November 19, 2011

I really like this netbook; it's light, fast, great screen. It gets 3 stars because of the INCREDIBLE amount of crapware it came loaded with. After I cleaned it all out (which took hours) I got 20 gigs of my hard drive back.

There is the option, in the setup function, when booting, to restore to a clean image with drivers & operating system only - BUT it failed three times. What a surprise. What a waste of my time. On principle, I will not be buying ANYTHING that HP preloaded.

If you can put up with that (I'd almost pay more not to have to deal with this - almost) then go ahead & buy it if you are a savvy user that can clean it out. Otherwise, be prepared to put up with a lot of aggravation at first.
