HP Pavilion dv2-1110us 12.1-inch Ultraportable Laptop PC
Source: Comp Reviews
Archive.org version
While $600 might seem like a lot for a netbook, the HP Pavilion dv2-1110us provides so much more and bridges the gap between a netbook and a full laptop. Performance is better, particularly in the graphics that can run full HD video. The included DVD burner also gives it DVD playback and make it easier to load software. While this make it great for someone wanting a small but capable platform, it does have the drawbacks of lower battery life and being thicker and heavier than most of the systems it is compared against.

HP Pavilion dv2-1070eg
Source: Geek.com Archive.org version
Overall, the dv2 makes an interesting middle-of-the-road play, the nuances of which clearly require some explanation. It’s a great system for someone who just wants something that works, and doesn’t want to try to figure out why the netbook they just bought can’t play fullscreen video or can’t run iTunes. It’s more expensive than almost all netbooks and many notebooks, but for a reasonably powered ultraportable the dv2 is a good deal.

Hewlett Packard - Pavilion dv2 review
Source: IT Reviews Archive.org version
In case you thought that HP's new Pavilion dv2 was just another in the growing forest of portable PCs, HP has specifically labelled it an Entertainment Notebook so that it will appeal to youngsters on the move rather than the business market. If you want more features than a basic netbook can supply but don't want the larger and more expensive laptops, then this 12-inch entertainment notebook is reasonably priced with an impressive new Neo processor and HDMI capability. It's a shame it has an external DVD player, though, and it becomes uncomfortably hot quickly.

There’s a promising compact laptop at heart here, with better than netbook performance, a slightly bigger and higher resolution screen, and great keyboard. Sadly it’s let down by very poor battery life, in a laptop that ought to run cooler and longer than it does with the AMD Neo CPU and ATI HD 3410 GPU chips currently installed. We await with interest how succeeding applications of AMD’s Neo processor platform will fare.

HP Pavillion dv2 AMD Neo notebook
Source: Reg Hardware Archive.org version
The first Asus Eee PC was only released a little over 18 months ago, but given the sheer number of Small, Cheap(ish) Computers on the market you could be forgiven for thinking it had been around for much longer. For its £599 price tag, the dv2 offers a decent compromise between performance and affordability. It's also much more stylish than many machines at this price. It doesn't have the raw performance of a fully-fledged laptop, but it packs more punch than most netbooks and comes with a larger screen and keyboard to boot, although its battery life is lacking.

HP Pavilion dv2-1010EA review
Source: Techradar Archive.org version
HP has delivered a compact and stylish laptop that promises a lot, but ultimately fails to deliver. Ultimately, the Pavilion dv2-1010ea falls slightly short of HP's promises. While you will be able to carry out office-based activities at home or on the move, as well as watch DVDs and perform light photo-editing tasks, it simply isn't powerful enough for more intensive multimedia use. In the end, similar performance and greater portability can be found elsewhere for less money.

If ever there was a tale of two halves, then the HP Pavilion dv2-1030ea notebook is exactly that. The design, build quality, feature set and application performance are all top notch. Admittedly, there are a few minor complaints with the keyboard, trackpad and artwork that could easily be written off as personal preference, but then we got onto using the dv2 as a portable workhorse and that was when the wheels came off.

Potential buyers should keep in mind that the dv2 can take the place of a full notebook and is not restricted to acting as a secondary mobile device, like a netbook generally is. The fact that it can play Blu-ray video might not be handy for everyone, but it gives some insight into how versatile the system is and what you are getting compared to a lower-end system. Ultimately, the dv2 is better during use than it is on paper, so it’s worth checking out. Even so it won’t be able to avoid comparisons to netbooks and the value won’t be there for everyone. Currently the biggest direct competitor for the dv2 is Samsung’s NC20 though which features another non-Intel processor, VIA’s Nano, and sells for about $550.

HP Pavilion dv2 - Neo Goes on a Diet
Source: Hardware Zone Archive.org version
Lastly, while we could find no fault with the overall design and build of the dv2, we're still slightly irritated with the glossy surfaces that do nothing but turn the pretty looking machine into a smudge magnet. Otherwise, you'll find yourself in love with its pretty design, good looks and solid build. Price wise, the dv2 will set you back at a price of S$1299. Definitely expensive compared to an Intel Atom based mini-notebook and considering that more powerful regular but bulkier machines are available for the same price range. It is however definitely much more affordable than what you would expect from a 'similar sized' Intel ULV based machine, and is really the key point for you to consider if you're thinking of getting this notebook.

HP Pavilion dv2 review
Source: CNet Archive.org version
When we first saw the 12-inch HP Pavilion dv2 at CES 2009, we were forced to stifle yawns at what appeared to be another glossy HP laptop with an AMD processor. But, when we learned this is the first system to use AMD's new Athlon Neo platform, our ears perked up. The HP Pavilion dv2 is a great-looking machine that aims to sit between netbooks and more expensive ultra-portables. With a Neo CPU, it's capable of outperforming most Atom- and Nano-based netbooks, but, for the price, you can also get a mainstream dual-core laptop that outperforms the dv2.

Unfortunately, HP continues to load its laptops with software that you'll want to uninstall the second you get home (games, demos, and the like). The one standout among the pre-installed apps is the handy HP Advisor bar, which camps atop your desktop. While it is borderline obtrusive, it provides a handy shortcut for online searches--and the PC Health & Security button is an excellent one-stop window for obtaining a full status report on your PC. If ultraportability is your bag, but you don't want to drop a fortune and you don't want to sacrifice too much performance, the recession-busting HP Pavilion dv2 is a fairly good bet. Just don't mistake it for a full-fledged, full-performance machine either.

The HP Pavilion dv2 is thin and light enough that it can replace a netbook, and it has enough performance to replace a full-size notebook. The only people who might need more performance are extreme gamers and people who need extreme processor speed and multiple cores for multitasking work like encoding two or more video formats simultaneously. If you want to connect your laptop to your HDTV and watch 1080p video, the dv2 can handle it. If you want to edit high-resolution images in Photoshop while you're on vacation, the dv2 can handle it. If you want to play new video games and don't need extreme detail and frame rates, the dv2 can handle that too.

In terms of design and performance, the HP Pavilion dv2-1030us represents a step up from most netbooks. Also, the LED display is sharp and the notebook handles high-definition content well both on the screen itself and when output via HDMI. You can even play some 3D games at a decent clip. However, while we can live with the somewhat cramped keyboard and above-average heat, the dv2’s short battery life will be a deal breaker for many potential buyers. Although it’s not nearly as stylish as the dv2 and its graphics performance isn’t as strong, some may prefer the Samsung NC20. That lighter 12.1-inch notebook lasts about 5 hours on a charge, offers a more comfortable keyboard, and costs only $549. Nevertheless, the dv2 is a well-performing ultraportable at a relatively affordable price of $749.

HP Pavilion dv2 (1030-us)
Source: PC Mag Archive.org version
The HP Pavilion dv2 (1030-us) is as close to a netbook as you'll see with an AMD processor. Though it was made clear that the semiconductor company had no interest in competing in the netbook category, this 12-inch beauty says otherwise. The dv2, which bears a strong resemblance to the Dell Inspiron Mini 12, is the first laptop to use AMD's new Athlon Neo processor, and at $749 (direct), it costs about $100 more than the HP Mini 2140 netbook. I think HP and AMD have the right idea here, as there aren't enough 12-inch form factors that are able to hit this price. The only catch is that you'll have to put up with fan noises and occasional heat from its underside. The HP Pavilion dv2 (1030-us) is a more powerful and louder version of the Dell Inspiron Mini 12, and it's aimed at the frugal shopper.

Depending on how you look at it, the HP dv2 is either an affordable but underachieving ultraportable notebook, or an overpriced netbook on steroids. Its 12.1-inch screen and discrete graphics will appeal to netbook users who don’t mind paying more for the extra features, but its woefully short battery life and subpar performance make it hard to recommend as a serious travel notebook, especially if you require a modicum of productivity power. Furthermore, it's just the first of this new niche class. Acer's Timeline promises much better battery life and equally impressive graphics, and Dell's Adamo is all about style. (We'll have to see about the substance.) So keep your wallet in your pants for now. We'll post reviews of the dv2's closest competitors as soon as we get our hands on them.

No doubt that HP Pavilion dv2 is quite a beauty despite being a fingerprint magnet, and its slim build only furthers its appeal. Given the AMD Yukon platform specifications and the chipset's integrated Radeon X1250 graphics engine, we're more than certain that it's more powerful than the Intel Atom platform and thus all the mini-notebooks out in the market. However we're not quite yet convinced of AMD's proposition of an affordable ultra-thin notebook.

HP Pavilion dv2-1030us (Staples)
Source: PC Mag Archive.org version
AMD made it clear that it had no desire to compete in the netbook space and that it would rather put its money on the lightweight and inexpensive HP Pavilion dv2 (1030-us) to fill the void between netbooks and expensive ultraportables. The dv2 had the budget ultraportable space all to itself—at least for a brief period—until Intel's CULV (Consumer Ultra Low Voltage) processors came in and completely rained on HP and AMD's parade. As the netbook category grows and Intel's consumer ultra-low voltage class rolls in, HP's ultraportable Pavilion dv2-1030us is being pushed out of the game faster than it came in.

HP Pavilion dv2-1030ea review
Source: Techradar Archive.org version
HP Pavilion dv2 is a great laptop, but lacking in power and performance compared to some others. HP aims to provide the perfect combination of portability and performance with the Pavilion dv2-1030ea. While this isn't a massively powerful machine, HP has produced a compact laptop that's capable of carrying out basic multimedia tasks. While the Pavilion dv2-1030ea is a decent laptop with some nice features, in terms of power and specifications, it's expensive and worth looking elsewhere.

HP Pavilion dv2 'Yukon' laptop

We like the HP Pavilion dv2 a lot. We dislike it a lot, too. Makes sense? The laptop looks absolutely fantastic and has excellent build quality to boot. It's very thin, relatively light, and the dv2-1030ea model ships with a Mobility Radeon HD 3410 512MB discrete graphics card for reasonable gaming performance. The keyboard's just lovely and the LED-backlit screen is well above average, if a little too reflective for our taste. 720p (QuickTime) movies are taken in its stride and the overall package is polished.

HP Pavilion dv2-1030ea notebook

Want a compact high-definition notebook? As to whether you’ll like the dv2, and indeed whether it can be judged as a success or not, depends entirely on what you need out of a laptop. With limited everyday performance, it’s definitely not a machine you’ll be able to replace your home PC with, but for those with simple needs, or seeking a laptop primarily for the commute, it’s ideal. Yes, you can get netbooks for cheaper, but few offer the same quality or usability, and most also lack the higher-res screen and external optical drive. Overall, we like the dv2, and it crams in a lot for your money. Just don’t go thinking it’s perfect.

HP Pavilion dv2-1030ea - 12.1in Thin & Light Notebook
Source: Trusted Reviews Archive.org version
AMD and HP have been wise not to call its latest collaboration a netbook. Why? Partly because it plainly isn't a netbook, it has a 1,280 x 800 resolution display, but mainly because, had they taken this view, we'd have probably told them to insert their new product up their preferred organic orifice - we've seen more than enough netbooks already, thanks! Despite outstanding design and an excellent feature set, the HP Pavilion dv2 is let down by its disappointing battery life and some poor decisions in regards to specification and bundling. There's lots of promise here and if you're happy to invest in an extra battery this is a smart and practical machine, but it's not quite the genre defining product it could have been.

Archive.org versionThe HP Pavilion dv2-1132AX is one of the new breed of slim laptops to hit the Australian market. It aims to be very portable, affordable and reasonably powerful — and it hits the mark in all three areas. If netbooks are too small for you and regular 15in laptops are way too big, then the HP Pavilion dv2-1132AX could be just what you're looking for. It runs an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Neo CPU, has an HDMI port, and is perfect for office work as well as watching videos and editing photos.

Comment
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.
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3410: Entry level dedicated GPU from AMD which supports only PCI-E 1.1 (3430 and upwards support PCI-E 2.0). Technically a slower clocked HD 3430/3450.
These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.
ATI Radeon Xpress X1270: Built in RS690T chipset and is based on an X700 graphics core (with less pipelines). It features no dedicated graphics memory but Vista Aero support.
ATI Radeon Xpress X1250: It is an onboard graphic chip, implemented on AMD M690G. Sometimes, it is also called Mobility Radeon X1250. It is based on X700 design but with less pixel- and vertex pipelines. It hardly suited for players.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
AMD Athlon Neo:
MV-40: Slow single core processor for small and thin laptops. A bit faster than Atom based systems but the power consumption is also higher.
AMD Turion 64: This is a derivative of the Athlon 64 with SSE3 with nx storage protection, 32 and 64 bit support, integrated memory controller for PC3200 memory, mode for low capacity, HT800 and 2 variants ML with 35 Watt and MB with 25 Watt consumption. Regarding the consumption MT might be very similar to a Pentium M. The speed is moderate and approximately as fast as an Pentium M with equivalent clock speed.
AMD Athlon Neo X2:
L335: Entry level dual core processor for small and thin subnotebooks. Based on the old K10 / K8 mixture produced in 65nm and compareable with a 1.2-1.3 GHz Core 2 Duo (performance wise).
L325: Subnotebook processor for small and light laptops. Still based on the old mixture of K8 and K10 microarchitecture in 65nm. Faster than Atom based systems, but also with a higher power consumption.
AMD Turion Neo X2:
L625: Dual-Core CPU for cheap subnotebooks with an integrated DDR2 memory controller and based on the K8 core. Similar performance as an 1.2 GHz Core 2 Duo.

69.92%: 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.
