Note that the model we tested, the HP Pavilion dm1-3200sa, no longer seems to be available in the UK. Similarly specified laptops are the HP Pavilion dm1-4175sa or the HP Pavilion dm1-4004sa, also sold for around £350, which both have a 1.65GHz AMD pro...
The HP Pavilion dm1 is an excellent choice for a portable laptop. For its sub-£350 price tag you get decent performance, a good range of ports and a long battery life. The HP Pavilion dm1 doesn't look too bad either but could benefit from better build...

Now that everyone and their dog has or wants a smartphone or tablet, the recent drop in netbook sales can hardly be a surprise. Yet does this mean there is no space for a small, cheap laptop? Of course not and HP’s recently refreshed Pavilion dm1 is a...
By avoiding Intel’s puny Atom CPUs and wretched built-in graphics and a nasty little 1024 x 600 10.1in screen, the HP Pavilion dm1 offers a useful alternative to a chic but limited tablet or a farcically expensive Ultrabook. For £350 you get cracking...

Straddling the line between laptop and netbook, budget ultraportables like the Lenovo X121e are a great option if you're looking for something that does the basics and does them well. Unlike actual netbooks, little budget laptops like this can handle HD v...

HP's dm1-3200sa is a decent enough ultraportable or high-end netbook let down by its somewhat discordant design and screen's poor viewing angles. At its current price point of around £375, it's worth spending a little more to get far superior alternatives...

HP is yet to launch a true ultrabook, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find a thin-and-light machine with an HP badge on it. If you’re looking to save a little cash, the DM1 could be just what you’re looking for. As it’s powered by an AMD Fusion process...
A great ultra-portable for anyone who doesn’t have the cash for an ultrabook...

I have had a dm1-3105ez for some time now, and if it weren't for the cursed Synaptic "ClickPad" it would have been my favorite system, by quite some margin. But using the ClickPad is so awful, even when...

HP has been on a winning streak for the last couple of years, with the company’s laptops taking several of our coveted PC World Platinum awards. That made it all the more disappointing that the Pavilion dm1 is the poorest performer in our 2011 ultrapor...

Aside from the ropey touchpad, the HP Pavilion dm1-3100sa is a great ultra-portable laptop. At £349, it offers superb value for money, if you don't need bags of power for resource-hungry tasks such as video editing. The screen is particularly impressiv...

It order to keep the cost and size of its Pavilion dm1-3100sa laptop to a minimum, HP has opted to fit it with a dual-core 1.6GHz AMD E-350 platform. In terms of performance, this processor is similar to Intel's Atom range. For this dm1-3100sa, HP wan...
It may look like a very smart netbook, but the dm1 is twice as fast and has good speakers; however its dim screen lets it down, and the atrocious touchpad means it misses out on an award...

HP's Pavilion dm1 (dm1-3010AU) is an 11.6in, 1.5kg netbook that runs AMD's Fusion platform. It's not a typical netbook though, and not quite a full-blown laptop either — it offers better CPU and graphics performance than an Intel Atom-based netbook, a...

HP's Pavilion dm1 has good graphics performance and battery life for a netbook, thanks to AMD's Fusion APU. It's a well designed unit with good looks and we found it very comfortable to use. However, it does have a loud fan and one of the keys on our t...

The Pavilion dm1-2010sf has a glossy 11.6-inch panel which doesn't hide the low black level. What's more, reflections are particularly problematic here. As on all current laptops, it uses TN technology. Reduced viewing angles, then, with colours that d...

In terms of performance, HP would have been better advised to leave the dm1-2010sf in the netbook category rather than with the ultra-portables. It will handle internet browsing and office doc work ok, but for anything more you'll need a more robust co...

The HP Pavilion dm1 outperforms any other netbook we've reviewed. It is slim, stylish, and easy to carry around - given its 12in form factor. It does have a clunky touchpad, though - so try it out before buying. We recommend the Pavilion dm1 to anyone...

The HP Pavilion dm1-4015tu is the latest in HP’s dm1 series, and this dark grey ultraportable still weighs only 1.57kg. Although entirely plastic, the 4015tu is surprisingly sturdy. The main body had only a small amount of flex around the palm rests...

Netbooks aren’t for everyone. The small screen size can be frustrating while the even smaller keyboard can drive you nuts, not to mention the lack of processing power. HP’s Pavilion dm1 sits comfortably in size between a notebook and netbook. Officiall...
If you can't quite live with a netbook due to a small keyboard and restrictive processing power, but still want something extremely portable, the HP Pavilion dm1 needs some serious looking into. With a close to full size keyboard, an HDMI connection, g...

The HP Pavilion dm1-4027ea is a strange beast of a laptop indeed. On the one hand it can feel rather lacklustre and underpowered when doing unexceptional tasks. Windows 7 Home Premium can feel sluggish at times, and with a number of windows left open on t...
