New HP Review 2010

HP Pavilion dm4-1160us

The HP Pavilion DM4-1160us is the lightest and one of the sexiest, 14-inch laptops in the mainstream category. A metal design, on-grade features and a fast Intel Core processor i5 are the driving forces behind this easy. In addition, this configuration with a 55Wh battery, which packed pumped over 5 hours of battery life.

Design
The DM4-1160us together with the Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch (Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz) and Asus U45Jc-A1, are mainstream notebooks that most have sex appeal. They are covered in aluminum metal and are seductively thin (about an inch thick), two characteristics that are often associated with luxury laptops. The DM4-1160us has a darker-toned aluminum chassis, while those of the MacBook Pro and U45Jc-A1 easier, silver color. HP imprinting technology is the laser across the DM4-1160us’s lid and palm rest, as the look cleaner, etched pattern-free metal-clad designs of his brothers about it. At 4.4 pounds, it is the lightest weight in 14-inch class, less than the Lenovo IdeaPad Y460 (4.9 lbs), Dell Inspiron 14R (4.9 lbs), and U45Jc-A1 (4.7 lbs).
The DM4-1160us’ s 14-inch widescreen is a number greater than that found 13-inch on the MacBook Pro 13-inch and Asus U30Jc-A1, which means that more have screen real estate to work. However, there is a general image that uses a standard 1366 x 768 resolution. If higher resolution is absolutely necessary, the HP Envy 14 scale up to 1,600 times 900th HP traditional keyboards are now replaced with the Chiclet-style way of a growing trend in laptops. All the letter keys are perfect, isolated squares, and while there in response to an input style (such as touch or hunting and woodpeckers), the Lenovo Y460 and Dell 14R have better typing experience.
The navigation experience the touch pad and mouse buttons, was also redesigned, though not necessarily for the better. It is the type of touchpad, the mouse buttons has built similar to the touchpad found on the MacBook Pro, except this one does not deliver on the multi-touch capabilities. Often, the built-in multi-touch gestures and cursor have a mind of its own when to use two fingers on the touchpad. A nice work-around is with the Tap function with a single finger, or disable the gestures in the Synaptics software (in the Control Panel). HP has a driver update that some, but not spent all the dumb mistakes.

Features
As the U45Jc-A1, the DM4-1160us combines a dual-layer DVD burner and still managed to keep a slim figure. It has a standard set of connectivity ports, including 3 USB (one of which doubles as eSATA port), HDMI, VGA, Ethernet and multimedia card reader. An ExpressCard slot is not included, though. Then again, not many 14-inch laptops these days. The huge 500 GB hard drive rotates at a fast 7,200 rpm, faster than the 5400 ones found in the U45Jc-A1 (500GB) and Inspiron 14R (320). A fingerprint reader, which is a rare find on a consumer laptop is top on the right palm rest.
The DM4-1160us Intel’s Wireless Display, a nice feature that allows you to stream, found something on the laptop to an HDTV friends wirelessly. You do not have installed a transmitter dongle that hangs from a USB port, the radio chip in the laptop. However, you must each Push2TV Netgear receiver that connect to buy an HDTV, via HDMI. To start Wireless Display (WiDi) by double clicking the icon on the desktop WiDi that request, connect to the Netgear receiver is already connected to an HDTV. Once the DM4 is connected, you can wirelessly slide shows and high-definition video at 720p, maximum, to your HDTV from a distance of up to 20 feet.

Performance
While many of his colleagues elected to an Intel Core processor running i3, the DM4-1160us HP kicks it up a notch with a 2.4 GHz Core i5-450M. It is a moderately faster processor than the one found in the Asus U45Jc-A1, 14R and 13-inch MacBook Pro, especially if you are an avid video or photo editor. The DM4-1160us better than the U45Jc-A1 Hand Brake (2 minutes 52 seconds), CS5 (5:18) and Cinebench 11.5 (2.14) tests, all of which measure raw horsepower. What it lacks, though, is a good graphics chip set, such as the Nvidia and ATI switchable graphics in the Asus U45Jc-A1 found and Lenovo Y460 each. But that does not mean you do not find a DM4-1160us configuration, the discrete graphics, the HP Pavilion DM4-1063cl is an ATI Mobility Radeon 5450.
In battery tests, the DM4-1160us well with his 55Wh (6 cell) battery, carried out as a MobileMark 2007 score of 5 hours 30 minutes on the Dell lasted 14R (3:31) and Lenovo Y460 (4:52). But it could not with the U45Jc-A1 84Wh battery, the spectacular nine hours took 27 minutes to compete.
The HP Pavilion 1160us-DM4 is one of the top contenders in the 14-inch consumer sector. There are some touchpad problems, but they are a modern design, a full plate of features and great battery life made of the shadows. It is surpassed only by the Editors’ Choice Asus U45Jc-A1, the dominant battery scores and a switchable graphics technology has had.

Offering a 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT and an overclockable Intel T7300 Core 2 Duo which was clocked from 2,0 GHz to 2,4 GHz only by pressing the turbo button.
