    CNET Review

    August 7, 2008

    The Good: Attractive design; large, crisp display; lengthy battery life for a desktop replacement; touch pad power button; light-touch media controls; dual headphone jacks.

    The Bad: Mediocre performance; lacks Bluetooth; budget price prohibits such entertainment options as a Blu-ray drive and HDMI port; decent, but not great, speakers.

    The Bottom Line: For less than $1,000, the HP Pavilion dv9925nr is a decent desktop replacement laptop with a broad, 17.1-inch screen. However, you'll get better performance and battery life (not to mention increased portability) from a similarly priced 15.4-inch machine.
