Editorial note

The HP Pavilion dv4 stands out for its solid performance, particularly thanks to its Intel® Core™ i5-3210M processor and 8 GB of memory, which ensure smooth application usage. Its 750 GB hard drive storage capacity provides ample space to save documents, photos, and videos, making it a practical choice for users with significant storage needs. The audiovisual experience is also enjoyable with a 14-inch screen and a stereo audio system, offering pleasant immersion for work and entertainment. However, some drawbacks may deter users. The 3rd generation processor, while capable, may seem outdated for intensive tasks or modern applications. Additionally, the screen resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels is relatively low, which can affect display quality, especially when watching videos. The lack of USB 3.0 ports also limits data transfer speeds, making the transfer of large files slower compared to other contemporary laptops. The weight of 2170 g can be a factor to consider for those looking for a easily portable device. Furthermore, the battery life not being specified may raise concerns about its usage duration without recharging, especially in comparison to models offering better battery performance. In summary, the HP Pavilion dv4 represents a reasonable value for money, but users should take into account its limitations in modern connectivity and screen resolution before making their choice.
