The Good: Attractive design; big, comfortable keyboard; decent display; good multimedia features, including a double-layer DVD burner; plays discs and music without booting the OS.
The Bad: No TV tuner; a bit too heavy for regular travel.
The Bottom Line: With the Pavilion dv5000z series, HP delivers a well-designed and versatile multimedia laptop that starts at a highly affordable price point.
