The Neo doesn't multitask well enough, but at least it's SMOOTH (read: instant) in doing whatever casual tasks you throw at it. My trusty 3000+ (1.8Ghz Single core) told me that.

Other chaps from LaptopReview managed to get 3+ hours on Youtube, so it's obviously not that bad.

And 8 hours for Atoms my arse, unless you plug in one of those fugly batteries and run that idiotic MobileMark virtually-no-load-at-all test. What a joke you are.]]>Apr 8th 2009 3:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/hp-pavilion-dv2-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/hp-pavilion-dv2-review-roundup/
Go back to scaring small children and chasing livestock you ponce, and leave the tech talk to the adults. ]]>Apr 8th 2009 7:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/hp-pavilion-dv2-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/hp-pavilion-dv2-review-roundup/Apr 8th 2009 3:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/hp-pavilion-dv2-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/hp-pavilion-dv2-review-roundup/Apr 8th 2009 5:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/hp-pavilion-dv2-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/hp-pavilion-dv2-review-roundup/Apr 8th 2009 5:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/hp-pavilion-dv2-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/hp-pavilion-dv2-review-roundup/
Check these links 1st, if you are thinking of buying HP http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=233974 or http://forums11.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/bizsupport/questionanswer.do?threadId=1191277

After months of getting to know each and every HP support team from here to Delhi and back, HP will still not admit to a design/manufacture fault and say that they treat each support case individually.

If you want my opinion Dell takes some beating and thier support is one of the best I have encountered, (speaking from a business point of view).]]>Apr 8th 2009 4:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/hp-pavilion-dv2-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/hp-pavilion-dv2-review-roundup/Apr 8th 2009 4:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/hp-pavilion-dv2-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/hp-pavilion-dv2-review-roundup/Apr 8th 2009 5:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/hp-pavilion-dv2-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/hp-pavilion-dv2-review-roundup/

Why not mention how it can handled 3D gaming well with the 3410 graphics chip, ran Photoshop/Video Encoding apps much faster than Atom, how it scored 3.40 hours battery life in PCMag's testing (which from experience is much better than most netbooks), how it runs a full 64bit OS with huge 4GB of RAM, how the heat is MOSTLY provided by the 3410 graphics chip NOT the Neo, how the typing experience with "exceptional" for an ultraportable etc. etc. And also bear in mind future Neo based systems will be cheaper and use the cooler low end graphics chip as well.

Honestly though, why does every review of any product (well most, there are....certain exceptions) from every site always have to highlight the negative. Just because something has it's share of flaws, doesn't mean they outweigh the advantages. If it's not what you're looking for, then don't buy it but don't trash it because it doesn't fit in your criteria of you what you want out of it. HP is actually doing a very good job of offering as wide a range of laptops as possible, with a variety of form factors, each with assorted specs and price points, and this is just filling in one the the bigger gaps. It would be alot worse if they tried to fit all their customers into one little box and tell them what they want...you know, cause nobody would ever do THAT ;)]]>Apr 8th 2009 1:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/hp-pavilion-dv2-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/hp-pavilion-dv2-review-roundup/http://budurl.com/HPdv2FF The pull quotes are positive and I suggest you read the entire article to get the full story. http://budurl.com/HPdv2FF
