The HP Pavilion dm3t is one of the best looking notebooks of the
year. In fact, it looks more expensive than its price tag would suggest
(starting at $649; $839 as configured). And thanks to an Ultra-Low Voltage
Intel processor, this Windows 7 system lasts all day on a charge while offering
good performance compared to the competition. However, the sluggish touchpad on
the dm3t makes this laptop more difficult to use than it should be.
HP updated the Pavilion dm3 series late last year with a new
low-voltage Intel Core i3 processor and a fresh design with a new cooling
system designed to make the notebook more "lap friendly." Not only is
this 13-inch laptop coolerf to the touch, but it looks cooler than the previous
generation of the dm3. In short order this notebook became the trend setter for
HP's consumer notebook line as the HP Pavilion dm1z and the the HP Mini line of
netbooks were designed with a similar external appearance.
