I would love it too, but it only has a claimed 5.25hrs runtime and likely 2.5hrs real runtime (hp is notorious for claiming *much* higher than actual life).

Seriously, being small and light is very nice, and the screen resolution is great, but WHY OH WHY is the battery life so terrible? Asus Eee 1005HA was able to get an ACTUAL 8.2hrs surfing (heavy flash surfing) and 10hrs idle runtime from a smaller (10.1"), lighter netbook (by 0.5 pounds).

Even if the lappy gets 5.25hrs, it's not enough. HP should strive for much better.

Pass.]]>Jul 8th 2010 1:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/
I bought an Acer Timeline X 1830t for my wife a few weeks ago. Core i5-430UM 11.6"LCD, 3.09lbs, 5hrs 53min battery life (Laptop mag review)

We love it. We have no problem using it on a daily basis. We love how compact and light it is. As far as I know it's the lightest 11.6" non-netbook there is, with a 6cell battery. (I know the Dell and Lenovo can be optioned down to a 3-cell battery to get the weight to less than 3lbs)

This HP dm1 isn't big news though. Pricing it to $600- $700? You've got to be kidding. Not for an AMD machine. Not when that same 600-700 gets you a Core i5UM machine like my Acer with better CPU performance and better battery life. (and is lighter too)

You can't compare an Atom netbook battery life directly against a non-netbook computer. Of course it lasts longer. You have a smaller LCD screen and a much much much slower processor to power. I'm surprised you only get 8-9 hrs on that kind of machine.

You know what impresses me? The Acer 1810t, which lasts 8hrs and 45min. It uses the Core 2 Duo SU7300 (not the Asus Eee 1005HA's Atom N280). http://www.laptopmag.com/review/laptop/acer-aspire-1810t.aspx?page=2

I still would pass on this HP, but not for your reasons. There are simply better options out there than this thing for the same price.]]>Jul 8th 2010 10:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/Jul 8th 2010 12:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/

The K125 is a single core processor, the K325 and K625 have lower clock speeds but are dual core and have more L2 cache. It's definitely worth going with at least the K325, if not the K625 CPU over the Atom like processing of the K125.]]>Jul 8th 2010 12:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/Jul 8th 2010 12:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/Jul 8th 2010 12:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/1 DIMM slot ewwwwww, thats a bit to netbookish for my taste.]]>Jul 8th 2010 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/Jul 8th 2010 12:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/
It's cheaper, especially with that coupon. CULV's notebooks typically go for more than the average budget laptop. This system falls in line with high-end netbooks, $400-$500. So if there's anything you should be comparing this system to it's netbooks. These AMD processors are easily more powerful than any mobile Atom processor currently on the market although at the expense of battery life. Intel will be introducing dual-core mobile Atoms of course, but they'll probably go at the high-end for netbooks. ]]>Jul 8th 2010 12:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/Jul 8th 2010 12:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/
Thanks for the comment. Good stuff. If I don't already have the hp tm2, I would buy this or If I had lots of money I would buy this.]]>Jul 8th 2010 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/Yes the 311 is a nice machine but mine ended up parked in the living room as a region2 DVD input to the TV (1080p output is great). Why? Because of that insane touchpad placement. I'm a touch typist, what good is a touchpad under your right palm? I even build a plastic guard over the touchpad, which helped, but eventually had to give up on it.
Nice machine HP but hey JUST PUT THE TOUCHPAD CENTERED UNDER THE SPACEPAD.
Before you buy an HP machine, try typing on it. If you hunt and peck it probably does not matter to you, but if you touchtype you may find you just cannot use it.]]>Jul 9th 2010 1:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/got to say very pleased and impressed by this little guy!

I looked at the specs of 11z, I would still prefer this one. I'm looking at it performance wise, not price. Quality and Performance.

I think I read the 11Z has poor battery life but I can't remember for sure. I'd go for this just because you'll get more power under the hood with the graphics card. Though I'd definitely opt for at lest a dualcore CPU.]]>Jul 8th 2010 9:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/
Maybe a larger battery at some point? (not currently an option on HP.com).]]>Jul 8th 2010 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/
Agreed. I personally expect around 8-10hrs usable from a netbook. The Eee 1005HA gets this and the Acer Aspire One AO751h.

I'm looking forward to the ultra-thin/light/fanless cortex A9 smartbooks. Hopefully they have comparable performance and insane battery life.]]>Jul 8th 2010 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/Jul 8th 2010 2:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/Jul 8th 2010 2:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/Jul 8th 2010 4:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/
I have the DM3 1030 US(the AMD Neo model with a 1.6 Ghz dual core processer), and it handles flash reasonably well. I can do 720p youtube videos without a problem but 1080p gets a little choppy, but thats not a huge deal considering the monitor is 1366 x 768. The hulu performance is reasonable at 480p, a few hiccups here and there but definitely watchable. Things have got a lot better since flash 10.1 and the HD 3200 integrated graphics aren't half bad for some light gaming. I imagine the new 4225 graphics are even better.]]>Jul 8th 2010 5:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/Jul 8th 2010 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/Jul 8th 2010 7:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/Jul 8th 2010 3:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/Jul 8th 2010 7:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/Jul 8th 2010 6:47PM
