HP Pavilion DV2-1030US 12.1-Inch Laptop Review from Alex K ak67. Just what I’ve been looking for, To me, it’s just the right combination of power, portability, and features. This laptop is positioned perfectly between a netbook (which costs half as much) and an ultraportable (which costs twice as much).

It looks a lot like a netbook, except it’s not a netbook. There is no sense comparing dv2-1030us to a glorified calculator with 1 GB of RAM and a 4 GB SSD. This laptop comes with 4 GB of RAM and a 320 GB hard drive, so it can be used to do real work, not just take notes before transferring the data elsewhere.

The screen is bright and clear, and has the same resolution as a 15″ HP laptop such as dv5-1250us. There is an HDMI port so I can hook it up to my large monitor or an HDTV.

There is no internal DVD drive The external drive comes bundled. This makes dv2-1030us much lighter than other laptops. I rarely use the DVD, so I won’t have to drag the external drive with me.

Pros:

- 64-bit CPU, supports 4GB RAM

- 320 GB hard drive

- great screen quality

- HDMI connector

- very good touchpad with scroll

- more power per pound of weight than any other laptop or netbook

- a physical switch to turn off wireless

- external DVD drive, no need to drag around the extra weight

- power cord is about 15′ long, you don’t have to sit by the outlet

Cons:

- external DVD drive, I will probably misplace it one day

- power cord is about 15′ long, I constantly have to untangle it
