    CNET Review

    April 8, 2009

    The Good: First laptop to use new AMD Athlon Neo CPU; best-looking budget 12-inch laptop we've seen; 4GB of RAM.

    The Bad: Netbook-style performance at mainstream-laptop prices; no internal optical drive; unimpressive battery life.

    The Bottom Line: HP's slick-looking 12-inch Pavilion dv2 carves out a niche between entry-level Netbooks and expensive ultraportables.
