Review on HP Pavilion dv4-2045dx
The body of this laptop is made up of plastic with imprint finishes. There are wavy lines which are in gray fine pattern on the snow white body. The fingerprints on the glossy screen are less visible because of the white color. There is a backlit logo of HP which looks akin to a tiny LCD on the lower left of the cover but is bit odd to look at. When the lid is opened, a shimmering black bezel LCD and hinged display are seen. The palm rest and the keyboard match with the lid whereas the keyboard is surrounded by a white perforated metal.
The buttons on the keyboard as well as touch pad are covered with chrome thus making the design of the laptop eye catchy. There is a touch reactive bar at the top of the keyboard with which you can mute the audio icons, control the volume and also Wi-Fi can be activated. No other controls which are dedicated to media are available but with an exception of a tiny remote control which can be stowed into the ExpressCard slot. The keys on the laptops’ keyboard are softer than expected and they give a comfy feeling when used. The keys are white in color and are slick and thus avoid the fingerprints.
Touchpad is wide and short which feels quite uneasy and difficult to adjust while maneuvering when compared to the large ones. The finishing of chrome is in such a way that it collects the fingerprints and forms the drag. There is a push button on top of the touchpad, which shuts off the touchpad when it is simply touched or when you don’t want to use it. The 14in LCD wide screen display proffers a native resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels which is said to be standard for these types. Movies look good and brighter. The icons and texts can be easily read without any difficulty.
The viewing of the screen off angle seems to be pretty much good when compared to the competition in market. The speakers which are stereo based are really good, loud and impressive and don’t show any distortions. Movies and music can be heard very soothingly. A microphone and a Webcam are present at the top of the screen. Some of the important features of this laptop are given here: VGA out, HDMI out, two headphones, stereo speakers, one microphone jack, ExpressCard /54 slot for expansion and also three HP expansion ports, 2.0 two USB ports, eSATA port, modem for networking, multi format memory card reader, Ethernet and Wi-Fi too for networking and an optical DVD burner drive.
Bluetooth is absent in this laptop but wireless is 802.11g. The laptop doesn’t have a speck of space wasted at the sides. There are no other incarnations of this 2045dx but one thing can be done with this, you can change or customize the interiors and order for the same in the HP’s Website. Some of the changes can be done after the purchase too, like increasing the memory and all. The AMD processor installed in this laptop is fast and the hard drive is speedy to run the apps. Running the emails, IM clients and Web browsing are easy with this laptop.
The battery life is about 2hrs and 31mins with a 6 cell battery which was estimated to be 3hrs on the whole. This system is qualified by the Energy Star and as usual HP gives a one year warranty with the industry standards. You can reach them with a toll free number which is available 24-7 or else you can also ask queries and for support over their Website. If you are ready to shoot the trouble by yourself then you can look into suggestions in the FAQ database. Though this laptop has a good design and serves best for the money invested with grave port hodgepodges, but the main hitch is that it has a low battery life and also Bluetooth is absent. Apart from these, this laptop is a good mainstream budget with admirable looks and performances.
