60% HP Pavilion dv5-1250us 15.4-inch Thin and Light Laptop PC
Source: Comp Reviews Archive.org version
The latest version of HP's Pavilion dv5 series moves away from the Intel based processors to the more affordable AMD Turion X2 processors. This does decrease the performance somewhat compared to man other 15.4-inch laptops, but the lower $850 price rage will attract many. The bronze color scheme may attract some and detract others but they really should have reconsidered the keyboard to be easier to see.

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.
