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 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...
