          No way!

          That Samsung is far superior compared to this HP.

        • uraha on 01/05/2011 - 21:25

          really depends if you really need 10h battery life

          The HP uses a ULV cpu (less powerful) compared to the i5 used by the samsung

          how trustworthy is Samsung though?
          HP isn't very reliable but is Samsung any better and how good is warranty claims process?

    • Jumper on 01/05/2011 - 21:26

      Yeah, got it about 2 month ago for around $748, and its a great laptop. USB CD drive is good even though it may be a little bit slow, and it comes with 32bit windows so you might need to switch to 64bit if you want to use all the RAM. No overheating problems and battery life is great if its its settings are all turned down. The case isn't as much of a fingerprint magnet as other laptops (mouse is terrible for fingerprints though). Another good thing is that the power pack is smaller than most. Highly recommend.

      I've used this for around 7 months before getting a different model. Bought mine from JB for over 1K. Very solid notebook, a worthy recommendation for those looking for portable ULVs. Also worth noting is this model is actually quite good for gaming as well. As an idea the types of games I've played on it include: Bulletstorm, COD: MW2, Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age 2. All in all this ULV will be suitable for those seeking a lightweight notebook with a bit of gaming capabilities.

    please be aware that by all means you cannot get the 10hrs battery life quoted in the specs.

    I had this model (but with integrated graphics) and it only lasted about 5hrs with everything set to low (bluetooth off) but wifi on, no videos or music just a word document and an internet browser open. The only way it can achieve the 10hrs is if you leave it on idle….

    Another point worth mentioning is that the trackpad on this thing is woeful. I'm not sure if the issue has been fixed via a driver or not though…

    But other than that I guess it's an 'okay' price for a 13.3" notebook (sadly the processor is equivalent to a 2006 budget core duo cpu). However, the postage kills the deal IMO.

    • JR63 on 01/05/2011 - 21:28

      Agreed, the trackpad is horrible to use. Not just the software side of it, but the actual texture of the trackpad makes it very hard to use. It also heats up a fair bit.

      • jeremism on 02/05/2011 - 08:20

        Agree as well regarding trackpad… almost unusable! Be prepared to carry a mouse wherever you go.

  • Docile on 01/05/2011 - 23:11

    I have this exact laptop. I bought it from MLN at the end of last year for like $700. It's been running perfectly since. One thing to note it doesn't have 10hrs of battery life as HP claims it has, at max settings I get around 3-ish hours with it (Don't know about other settings, haven't really played with it).

    • Store RepMLN @ MLN on 01/05/2011 - 23:15

      The max we got out of the battery was 7.5 hours if anyone has done better let me know. HP has assured us many times it's up to 10 hours, we just dont know how.

      That's a different model dude, with integrated graphics. I will recommend if you're buying the DM3 to remove all the crapware it comes loaded with. I've used the exact model OP posted and it ran flawlessly with regular maintenance, ie defrag weekly etc. Like I mentioned above, this model is powerful enough to run most recent games smoothly as well.

      I can see how the review for your model is saying its slow especially if the reviewers are using the model with integrated graphics to play DoTA. Also with regards to the functions keys, yes by default you have to press the "fn" key + "F1-F12" to get the function number, but you can change it in the BIOS so you don't have to press the "fn" key all the time.

      • Store RepMLN @ MLN on 02/05/2011 - 13:45

        The model we are selling is the top of the line DM3
        other versions mentioned here were originally a lot cheaper to begin with and were the entry level versions.

  • Ambiguous on 02/05/2011 - 00:08

    How does this compare with the lento thinkpad edge 13 (4gb ram version) that came down to $610 (with a bonus 500gb hdd) with the 10% off sale a few days ago?

  • Hirokuro on 02/05/2011 - 00:21

    I'm waiting for an amazing deal on the DV6-2119TX (hopefully there will be a massive discount like there was 2yrs ago for the DV3 :P).

  • Josh81 on 02/05/2011 - 02:02

    The video from HP, on the MLN page, stated a battery life of 7hrs. It also said the laptop is GPS enabled. Is that an add on you reckon, or does this $548 model actually have the GPS…?

    Very nice for an portable, for people who don't use the laptop for heavy tasks.

    I like that Samsung QX310-S01, but it is $250 more.

    • Store RepMLN @ MLN on 02/05/2011 - 02:28

      The video is a video for a slightly different version, the idea is to have a look at the DM3 chasis overall. GPS and other featutres consume more power, this version we are selling does not have GPS.
      I have a PDF spec sheet from HP that has over 6 different versions on their. The info provided by HP is generic, please refer to the specs listed on our website only.

      Most of the silicon and components would be produced in China. Assembly could either be in USA but regardless of where its 'made' you can say that most of it is china made.

    Hp unreliable?… Hp is one of the best computer manufacturers. There equipment is used in hospitals around the world. I know there was HP equipment being used when i got my surgery done 6 months ago. If they use it in hospitals it should be very trustworthy. As for samsung, never used one of there laptops myself but there TVs are superb!
