Customer Reviews

Avoid this Model of Computer
I bought a DM3 series computer in early December 2009. At first I was amazed at how great the system was. Then I found that it would freeze up every time I tried to close the lid and reopen it. This is pretty fundamental for a laptop, so I figured I had loaded something that was having a problem. After talking with HP tech support, however, I found out this is a known problem with the unit and that their solution was to shut the unit down every time you want to close it. Unbelieveable that they would ship it with this kind of known error!!

DO NOT BUY THIS COMPUTER!!

Once they finally acknowledge this as a problem and they work on fixing it, it will be a great system. For now, however, don't buy it unless you are willing to reset it every time you want to close it.

Great laptop at a great price
At $649 after rebate I think this laptop hits a real sweet spot in the 13" market! I've had it for a week now and am really enjoying it. I also purchased a Samsung slim DVD writer since this mahcine doesn't include an optical drive.

Pros:

- Runs very cool with the Intel processor - have never had the fan kick on
- No problem streaming video, and has an HDMI for for your HDTV
- Best looking notebook for the price
- Very fast and quiet hdd
- I have to admit I really am enjoying Windows 7 - I skipped the whole Vista thing
- The back lit LED screen is beautiful
- With 4GB RAM the system multi-taks very well
- Battery Life - I get 5 to 6 hrs with my custom settings, cross country trips on a plane are now a reality
- The keyboard is great to type on, although the use of a fn key to use f1-f12 isn't for me

Cons:

- Quite a bit of crapware and bloatware to get rid of
- The track pad leaves something to be desired - buggy in that it sometimes locks up from resume or comes back as a magnifying glass. You can find out how to fix this in the forurms...
- The mouse buttons on the track pad are too small and require too much pressure to click.

I used to travel with a back breaking 15.4 Dell M65, this will be a joy to travel with, and I will use it more at home because of how beautiful the screen is, and it is completely quiet. In my option you can't go wrong here.HP Pavilion DM3-1040US 13.3-Inch Silver Laptop - Up to 10 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Home Premium)

Disappointed!
I was disappointed in not being informed that the computer did not include a DVD/CD internal player, and no information was given as to the appropriate external player.
I should have been warned and the exact available external DVD/CD players recommended, especially for first time buyers!!!
Thanks
