The HP Pavilion dm4-1060us ($849.98 list) is covered in aluminum metal and ranks as one of the lightest, most powerful 14-inch laptops  in the market. In addition, there are also multiple configurations of the dm4, ones that have switching graphics—the HP Pavilion dm4-1063cl ($899 list, )—or a faster Intel Core i5 processor and bigger battery—the HP Pavilion dm4 ($905 direct, ). This particular version, the dm4-1060us, available at Staples, is the cheapest of the three, opting for integrated graphics only and a low-end Core i5 processor. What all three have in common, though, is a multitouch touchpad that has a mind of its own.

14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact. 

In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers. 

HP: Founded in 1939, the US company is a major server and printer manufacturer and one of the leading IT companies in the world. Until 2015, the company was called Hewlett-Packard Company. After a split, the computer division was renamed HP Inc.

In 2023, HP had an approximate market share of 22% of global PC sales, making it number 2 after Lenovo.

75%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
