Reviews of the HP Pavilion dv5-1002nr

CNET Review
The Good: Slick, modern design; touch-sensitive controls look cool; price is currently discounted at Best Buy; included HDMI and eSATA ports; dual headphone jacks.
The Bad: Terrible battery life; below-average performance; glossy keyboard and touch pad don't provide the best feel; no FireWire, Bluetooth, or Draft N Wi-Fi.
The Bottom Line: The HP Pavilion dv5-1002nr's good looks, useful feature set, and current discount price may allow you to overlook its middling performance, but its dreadful battery life might be the deal breaker.

Review Summary: The addition of an HDMI port does mean you'll be able to connect it to an external HD screen, though. The optical drive is, at this price, read-only, so you won't be able to write to HD discs. However, it supports standard DVD rewriting technology
