Beats Audio sound technology, good range of ports,
Slowish processor, casing feels a bit cheap
The HP Pavilion dm4 is certainly styled for its target market -- basically the sort of people who rejoice in the public display of Beats Audio headphones -- and it's a decent workhorse of a device. Don't get one if you plan on doing some intense gaming...
Processing power, Good finish, Decent battery life (4 hrs 20 mins), Backlit keyboard
Lowgrade screen (poor contrast, inaccurate colours), Glossy screen, Limited performances in games
The HP Pavilion dm4 Beats Edition laptop gives a good level of performance for the money, as well as a nice design and finish, and a decent battery life. However, the audio quality and screen aren't quite good enough to make this a five-star notebook. ...
The HP dm4 Beats Edition didn't score the highest ratings in our lab tests, and it in some ways it certainly leaves you wanting. But for under £1,000 this laptop will do most anything you need it to do (gaming aside) with respectable efficiency - all w...
Beats design upgrade, Beats audio sounds, Great multimedia all rounder

Stylish red and black design, Excellent CPU and HDD/SSD performance all-around, Rubber texture, Quiet fan noise and optical drive, Low temperatures when stressed, High resolution matte display, Backlit keys
Starting price, Plastic case, Fingerprint magnet, Shallow keys, Small touchpad, Tight port placement, Average outdoor usability
Drawing a final impression on the HP dm4-3090se is difficult. On the positive side, the notebook reflects its price reasonably well in key areas including the sleek designs, rubber padding, red backlit keys, high resolution display, respectable sound outp...
Fantastic audio quality, Good performance at this price point, Appealing design, Lots of value,
Difficult to see the keyboard in the dark (without the backlight), Washed out display,
If you're in the market for a 14-inch multimedia notebook, we urge you to consider the HP Pavilion dm4 Beats Edition. Marketed by HP as the ultimate audio noteook, it really was able to deliver exceptional audio quality - even using typical tiny earbuds. The dm4 isn't just about the audio, though ... our review unit was also able to deliver good performance at this price point. It can definitely
