CNET Review
The Good: Attractive design; decent performance among its midsize competition; comfortable keyboard; touchpad on/off button; touch-sensitive media controls; dual headphone jacks.
The Bad: Mediocre battery life; lousy speakers.
The Bottom Line: The HP Pavilion dv2915nr is an attractive and affordable 14.1-inch laptop that will serve your needs through four years of study. The disappointing battery life gives us pause, however, on this otherwise well-rounded laptop.
