Reviews of the HP Pavilion dv2945se

CNET Review
The Good: Attractive "special edition" bronze theme; includes Lightscribe optical drive; 4GB of RAM and 64-bit Windows Vista.
The Bad: AMD CPU is slower than comparable Intel-powered systems; below-average battery life.
The Bottom Line: The 14-inch HP Pavilion dv2700t Special Edition looks like a much more expensive laptop, but you can also find a more powerful 14-inch laptop with better battery life for less money.
