hello there! just want to comment on hp dv2, in the hope that this will help you guys decide wether its a buy or not. I bought mine last sept. ’09 and it comes with th ff. specs: 2GB RAM, 250HD, home vista premium as OS & ext. dvd.

Aesthetically speaking, the dv2 is a headturner, from its external design to its well responsive keyboard and most worthy mentioning is its portability, thin, compact, light… perfect (well, almost)for its look I give it 9 out of 10.

On the other hand, I am very disappointed w/ the performance. Imagine, the mere start up alone, before you can practically use it, takes more than 4 min. and a 4 min. youtube video takes more than 20 min. to download. My old asus 701 netbook is even faster compared to this. So, for its performance I give it 3.5 out of 10.

Summing up…. its more of beauty and LESS BRAINS.

Ciao!

@ August – it doesn’t just boil down to Ghz alone. Intel’s CULV line has lower TDP compared to the Neo. Try comparing a 2.0 Ghz AMD Turion with a 2.4 Ghz Core 2 Duo and the Intel would still win in the battery life department despite being clocked higher. Makes sense huh?

The DV2 is available with a 6 cell as well.

Of course, I’m sure you knew these too…

and i would rather get a lenovo Y450 with that ridiculous price!

@ Ric – that is because acer timeline only uses 1.4 Ghz processor which is a big factor in battery consumption. make sense huh? and oh, it only has 4 cell battery, so you are right there in the battery life department. how did you deduce that?!

Overpriced. Just like all of HP’s other laptops here. I know there’s no way that pricing here can compare to its US counterpart but I’m pretty sure HP could do better. I know HP has Compaq for its budget lines but they could’ve priced the DV2 close to it considering the specs.

These would get killed by the Timeline in the battery life department.
