 Perfect desktop replacement for almost any type of user. July 29, 2010

I just purchased the HP dv7-4060us on Tuesday. There are so few reviews right now on this because it is such a new system. Right out of the box, this is ready to go. East step-by-step setup will guide you through personal settings, and setting up your wireless network.
The dv7 starts up very quickly. With the Quick Web feature, which I haven't tried to use yet, allows the user to access the Internet without having to start up Windows! This can be set up as the default setting when the unit is initially turned on. Since it doesn't have to boot up Windows, you can literally get online in 1/3 the time. Nice time saver.
Windows 7 took a little bit getting used to. I am switching from an XP Pentium M laptop, so it will take a little time to get acclimated. Should be no trouble, however, for most people. I like the feel of the chicklet style keys, with the full number pad too. 1GB of dedicated graphics, which supports DirectX 11, makes this machine good to great for most mid-to-high levels of graphic intense programs. I should be able to run AutoCAD with shading on this machine flawlessly. The high-performance ATI 5650 GPU can be switched off when operating on battery power, or when there isn't the need for the dedicated graphics. This saves battery usage and overall power consumption. HDD speed is 7200. Often, this is an upgraded charge in many laptops. 4GB DDR3 memory, expandable up to 8GB, should fulfill most needs. The display is brilliant, although not up to 1080P, but for a 17.3", you probably won't notice any issues. The screen does attract fingerprints. It has a large touchpad, however, I use a USB mouse. Use the fingerprint reader if you need the extra security. The webcam is easily viewable, and is very fluid in motion. Wireless card can be enabled/disabled by pressing a button on the keyboard. There are 4 USB ports (2 on either side) and an HDMI port too. The power cord plug is on the right side. This may get in the way slightly if you use a mouse. I didn't have any issue with that in the short time I have owned it. Also has a 9-cell battery, which for some systems, is an up-charge as well.
The specifications and rankings of this dv7-4060us Triple Core processor with 1GB of dedicated graphics, for the low price of $699 really can't be beat. Yes, you can spend another $200-300/minimum and get a little bit beefier machine if you are into heavy duty gaming and whatnot, but for the average to advanced user, this will certainly suit your purposes. For me, I couldn't justify paying the extra amount for more power that I wouldn't even use, for the most part, and I think you will find that to be the same.

I bought the HP Pavilion dv-7 because I wanted a larger screened laptop. It's an increase over our HP 15 inch laptop, but I had imagined there would be a bigger difference. Another misconception I'd had is that this model had a backlit keyboard. It doesn't . The Beats audio played through the laptop's speakers is good, but far from spectacular. With some adjustment fiddling, the sound is acutally pretty good played through my external Logitech speakers. Enough whining already.
The Display - Color is vivid and as good as on any monitor I've ever owned. As I type this review using the 60 day trial of Microsoft Word, the text is crisp, dark, and very legible. Photos look superb on this display as do graphics brought up online. Graphics are especially good using the 64 bit explorer but web videos won't play on this format. I won't pretend to be a gamer, but the few arcade style games I've played on this laptop look terrific.
To try out the display, I downloaded a movie from Amazon. The download only took a couple hours and the movie (The Dark Knight) looked great on the screen. There is a key to adjust the brightness of the display, but so far I haven't had a need to use it.
Keyboard - I like the feel of the keyboard, though the keys are not as concave as on my other HP laptop. The keys are not as slick and shiny as those on the Toshiba laptops I've seen and there is more separation between the keys.
The touchpad is not overly sensitive and works fine, but I prefer using a mouse and keep a Logitech M305 attached.
Aesthetics - This is a great looking laptop with an elegant looking silver finish. On the back of the lid is an HP logo that stays lit when the laptop is on. The keys do show fingerprints and the user is advised to type on these with clean fingers. I've noticed that this unit is also a dust magnet, more so than any laptop I've ever used. Best keep a can of compressed air nearby.
Windows 7- My technical savvy is average at best, but even I have had no problems adjusting to Windows 7. It's easy to learn and seems much more stable than Vista. On the hard drive are videos and help screens for Windows 7 that many users will find helpful, especially initially.
Help guides - Just about all the laptop information is on the hard drive. To get you started there is a start up poster and a rudimentary owner's guide. One of the odd warnings found in the pamphlet sized guide warns the user that the computer can get hot and he or she should not rest the laptop in his or her lap. Funny stuff.
Battery life - For me it's great. I never use the laptop unplugged for more than two or three hours, more than enough time to watch a movie. The battery is quite large and snaps onto the bottom of the laptop externally. Its bulk raises up the back of the laptop which actually makes for an ideal typing position.
Adding peripherals is easy with this laptop. I have a printer upstairs which the laptop found quickly after I had loaded the Canon drivers on the laptop. If I can make a wireless connection, anybody can.
Fingerprint reader - I figured this was a useless gadget that I'd seldom if ever use. I've actually grown to like it quite a bit. Once the fingerprint reader is set up, you just brush a finger over the reader instead of typing in a password. Like a kid, I get a kick out of it every time.
HP Quickweb is something I haven't used often. When the computer is turned on a Quickweb screen appears that allows the user to access photos, music , or even the web without the need to start Windows. It really doesn't take that long for Windows to kick in, so I seldom use the Quickweb feature.
Despite a few minor complaints, I have no regrets purchasing this laptop and would do it again.
Final Word - Set up of the Hp dv-7 out of the box was child's play. I downloaded and installed some updates and set up a simple password. Then the computer restarted itself for all the updates to take effect. When the computer came back on it wouldn't recognize my password. What a nightmare. Finally after trying everything I could think of and researching the problem on another computer, I opened in safe mode and was able to start all over again, erasing all that I had done previously. From my Googling I learned that mine was not an isolated problem with Windows 7. The good news is that I've had no problems since.
consumer report favorite and mine too. July 28, 2010

my 4 yr old dell mother board died and needing an asap replacement, i went to consumer reports for info. after 2 days, it's so obvious why it has such a good rating. i thought the new operating system (windows7) would throw me over the edge (senior brain power) but it's been a walk in the park. Everything is so easy, clear and quick results. I've had toshiba (which I loved) and dell...never thought i'd become an HP fan...but it's hard not to be with the friendliness of this laptop.

It's a very nice looking laptop very sturdy, pretty good triple core processor but the bloatware will slow you down a bit, nice graphics card haven't played any games with it but I benchmarked it and it got similar scores to other systems with the same card. Windows 7, i don't care much for it. But I just gotta get used to it I guess. What happened to simplicity?
1. Gets hot, uncomfortably hot when resting your hand on it and typing, this was kind of expected with the amd processor known to run hotter than intel counterparts-i would buy intel if i had a choice, also the graphics card contributes to that heat, although you can switch to integrated graphics but I am not a fan of the switching because I think it is just another unnecessary thing that can go wrong. I have read reviews of people having problems with this switchable graphics design in gaming or graphics card not being recognized.
2. CD/DVD drive is terribly designed with a tiny little button to open it that you can only press with your fingernail and its a hassle to open it. I don't use the drive much but it would be nice to have something with a button that you can easily press. Also I read someones review that the drive broke and they couldn't open it anymore with the button. Hope that doesn't happen.
Other than those two issues-overall it is still a very nice laptop, I just wish they had spent some more time on cooling the laptop and that crappy cd/dvd drive.
EDIT: I've been using it for a couple of weeks and since I've gotten used to it its been really an awesome desktop replacement. Got used to Windows 7. The CD/DVD drive is still a terrible design but I don't really use it. Wish it came with System Restore disc, you can make your own though. Heat isn't as huge a problem as I thought, although I did update the BIOS to the latest version as advised by HP customer support so that might have helped. Also note room temperature is gonna play a big role in how hot the laptop is.
love it! September 8, 2010

My dad sent me an amazon giftcard for graduation because I had asked for a new laptop for the college years ahead. At first, I was looking into a macbook pro and had received enough money to buy one but after doing a lot of research i decided on the HP Pavilion Dv7-4060. I lovelovelovelovelove it. The only setbacks are that there's no backlit keyboard and the cd drive is hard to open. Yes, it is quite big for school but it's so easy to use.
reasons for purchase:
- Apple gives instore discounts for students and a free ipod during certain times of the year(out of my budget)-- which amazon doesnt include and my dad gave me a amazon giftcard :(
- This has a triple core processor - mbp has a dual core processor
- The beats by dre audio (I have the beats by dre studio headphones since I do audio engineering; amazing sound together)
- the finger print scanner is easy to use and set up for login on social networks
- the picture is crisp
- just easy to use in general - from what I've heard it's a little bit harder to get used to a mbp because of how different the applications are opposed to windows
Overall, this laptop is amazing and soooo easy to use.
