With its brushed metal-effect chassis and smooth curves, the dv7 is one of the best looking mid-range laptops HP has produced in a long time, but it has function as well as form. The five Beats Audio speakers, Blu-ray player and 17.3in screen could mak...

You don't see an awful lot of laptops with 1TB of storage space, but that is exactly what this big HP Pavilion dv7-6101sa has to offer. Overall, the specifications of the dv7 look quite impressive on paper, although in practice its performance leaves a...
While the price tag is inviting – and we’ve seen deals offering the dv7 for even fewer pounds than the £700 listed here – this HP is considerably bigger and slower than most modern laptops. Other components are more up-to-date, and build quality is not...

The HP Pavilion dv7-6b04ea has a very impressive set of specifications on paper - however, it doesn't live up to the tale of the tape. This laptop uses an AMD processor, the dv7's quad-core 1.8GHz A8-3510MX processor is backed up by 8GB of RAM yet only...

The HP Pavilion dv7 has a huge screen, and while power users will crave more pixels, there’s not much you can’t do with 1600 x 900. Its desktop-replacement credentials continue with the full-size keyboard and numpad, and although this isn’t exactly th...

There's no doubt about it, the Pavilion dv7-6013tx is big. For Shaquille O'Neal or Yao Ming it could be considered a laptop, but for the rest of us, it's most definitely a heavy desktop replacement. It features a 17.3in screen, weighs over 3kg and it...

The HP Pavilion dv7-6002sa is a hulking brute of a laptop; weighing in at 3.5kg it has a 17.3in screen and isn’t something that you’d want to carry around much, except from room to room. It has a full-sized keyboard with a numeric keypad and is remark...
We just can’t understand why HP opted against a full HD display on a 17in model with Blu-ray drive. It’s a shame because the sound quality is so good that a 1920 x 1080 screen would make it a near-perfect entertainment-focused laptop. It’s also slow in...
