Ive used the Pavillions before and i have to say for typing they're really good because (Assuming it's the same layout as the AMD ones) they have a full keyboard and the screen quality was great. The only bad thing i have to say about them was that i saw a few with broken hinges which made the screen flop around awfully, they dont last too long on battery and IIRC it ran really hot. |
I have 3 Pavilion laptops (4 in total with the first being a stupid Toshiba Qosmio that can barely boot up without freezing). The first Pavilion was destroyed in a carwreck I was in last summer (we still have it; the screen is shattered and so is the backside), so the second Pavilion was the replacement. However, that second Pavilion had a lot of faulty manufactured drivers (I read about my model online being discontinued 4 weeks after being manufactured due to faulty drivers; not the software kind, physical) and the hard drive, webcam and extension port (that's used for overhead projections for projects for classes) were faulty and it had to be replaced, so we sent it into repairs in the beginning of January.
The second Pavilion also got VERY hot. My parents disliked that one after we sent it into HP for repairs (we have it now, but there are some numerous conflictions with the driver to driver software on it still, or just a lot of software errors), so I got a third Pavilion which is the one in the link. It runs A LOT quieter than the second Pavilion and it doesn't produce much heat thanks to the Nvidia card with PureVideo HD. I just felt the backside right now and it's not even hot, and I just got off my online game. Hopefully with Vista SP2 coming along, the second laptop will not heat up as much due to processing and run more quietly, and I bet my third laptop will run more efficiently.
