I have knowingly omitted some more in depth technical details including chipset details and the graphics card details - as - the common users and buyer is not able to know what these are and makes the buying choice difficult.
The Pros: Has Blu-ray player normally available only at high end computers. Dedicated graphics, good performance; aesthetically good looking ; touch-sensitive control keys.
The cons: audio could have been better, low average battery life, glossy touch pad is not the best.
The verdict: HP Pavilion dv7-3065dx has big-screen and a Blu-ray player and is a good laptop for its money. It could have been better with a better Audio output.
The large 17.3-inch display of this notebooh is driven by LED backlighting and has 16:9 native resolution. The pixes resolution of 1,600×900 nmakes HD videos look great. It is highly recommended for people who like to use larger displays.
The battery life is poor as this notebook. Using an 8 cell battery, the battery life is about 2 hours and 50 minutes. Many other notebooks of this category are able to achieve this much of battery life with just 6 cell battery.
The notebook does come with 1 year industry standard warranty. Most of the HP notebooks come with a lot of unnecessary software installed that makes the computer slow. This is my biggest complain from HP.
Performance wise this notebook does a great job and is perfect for the all kind of computation intensive tasks including video processing and compilation.
