HP Pavilion dm3-1040us
$750.00
Released October, 2009
The Pros:Excellent chassis design--looks slick, very thin. Screen is bright and crisp, feels much more spacious than 13.3". Performs very well despite its seemingly limited Pentium processor.
The Cons:A tad overpriced considering Intel Core i3 machines are going for the same price. Inconsistent touch pad performance due to software/driver inadequacies. Mirror-surface touchpad design doesn't feel nice to use, almost feels "sticky".
