HP Pavilion DM1-4125EA review

Netbooks may have been pushed to the back burner behind the sleek and powerful ultrabooks hitting the market, but they're still a good option for those of you who just need to send the odd email on the go. The HP Pavilion DM1-4125EA comes with a dual-core AMD E-450 processor and a generous 4GB of RAM.It's available now for £350.The world may be quickly filling up with super-skinny ultrabooks, but that doesn't mean there isn't still room for a little laptop that retains some bulk but cuts the price. Yes, it may be dumpy next to the lithe new ultrabooks, yes it has a chunky rear end, but we like something to grab on to. With a total width of 292mm and a length of 215mm, it's certainly small. You'll have no trouble fitting it into your bag and chucking it over your shoulder. With a thickness of 32mm though, the DM1 is definitely more netbook than it is ultrabook. It's slightly slimmer than Toshiba's NB550D netbook, but considerably fatter than the Asus Zenbook UX21, which narrows to a carrier bag-splitting 8mm. It weighs only 1.52kg though, which is a whole load lighter than a lot of laptops -- especially the gargantuan Asus NX90JQ -- so you won't feel too weighed down if you're carrying it around with you.
