    CNET Review

    August 19, 2008

    The Good: Slick, modern design; touch-sensitive controls look cool; price is currently discounted at Best Buy; includes HDMI and eSATA ports; dual headphone jacks.

    The Bad: Terrible battery life; below average performance; glossy keyboard and touch pad don't provide the best feel; no FireWire, Bluetooth, or Draft N Wi-Fi.

    The Bottom Line: At its current discounted price, we'd be willing to overlook the HP Pavilion dv5-1004nr's below-average performance if the battery life wasn't so bad.

    Review Summary: Mike has told me 1000+ times about how he almost got blinded by it, and although I agree that it could cause some disruption if the light hits it at a wrong angle the computer looks great.  This computer is great for people who don't like having chap
