Reviews of the HP Pavilion dv5-1015nr

CNET Review
The Good: Modern design, including HP's "frameless" display option; touch-sensitive controls are convenient and attractive; decent application performance; HDMI and eSATA ports; comes with remote control.
The Bad: Subpar battery life; glossy keyboard and touch pad don't provide the best feel; no Bluetooth.
The Bottom Line: A Blu-ray drive highlights the feature-packed HP Pavilion dv5-1015nr, while subpar battery life prevents a higher rating for this 15-inch mainstream laptop.

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
