Our first impression of AMD's new Fusion processors is really quite positive.
Single Review, online available, Very Short, Date: If the price creeps higher, as it is right now at some retailers, we say order with HP direct or consider a more powerful ultraportable in the $600 to $750 bracket if speed is more important to you than money. For $450 to $500, this is a machine we can recommend. The looks are great, it's easy to upgrade the machine and build quality is solid. We weren't thrilled with the constantly running audible fan when using the default fan settings though. Battery life is very good at 5.5 hours and the laptop stays cool. We found it capable of multitasking responsively with Office apps, web browsers and email (just don't juggle several demanding apps) and the 1366 x 768 display gives you room to work compared to 1024 x 600 netbooks. The HP Pavilion dm1z with AMD Fusion impresses us as a better than netbook alternative for those looking for a relatively affordable portable that can handle video playback and even light gaming.
