HP's slick looking DV5
Aniket Kadam, Sep 04, 2008 1423 hrs IST
The panel with the touch sensitive media buttons almost looks like it has a mirror finish.
HP's DV5 is one slick looking machine, with an illuminated HP logo and metallic sides, this one spares no expense when it comes to looking great. The panel with the touch sensitive media buttons almost looks like it has a mirror finish and the keys on the keyboard are smooth to the touch and pretty comfortable to type on.
The numerous LED's for the media buttons are nearly blindingly bright and at a first look, the media buttons feel more responsive than the ones on the Compaq. The borderless WXGA screen is clear and seems larger than its 15.4" size.
It's weight does not come as a surprise at 2.65 kg, the metal finish probably contributing generously to that. The DV5 is supposed to be the successor to the previous line of DV's and in the full review we'll see if it can live up to its name.
