Even with the subjective view can be said that the unit can heat fairly. While the Compaq Presario CQ42 battery objective warmest area in the center of the keyboard feels less hot because there is not metal but with plastic buttons come in contact. Almost 39 degrees Celsius on the left palm rest and a high of 39.7 degrees Celsius in an hour stress test are certainly violent in and of itself. But with a maximum of 45.8 degrees Celsius, it is still thick on the bottom. This is at least one application under heavy load on the thighs is not advisable.

With the 6-cell lithium ion HP g50 battery with 57 Wh are possible depending on the needs and attitudes good grid Laufzeitenn. Although we did not reach the 10-hours advertised that the U.S. offered in the dm3-1040us. To be fair, one must mention, however, that HP for this device specifies only a maximum of 7 hours. At most we identified with the reader's test of the battery eater tools with maximum power saving mechanisms, deactivated WLAN, minimum screen brightness and HD 3200 graphics chip still almost six and a half hours.

The minimum HP g70 battery capacity, which was recorded by the Battery Eater Classic test tools out there, with nearly one and a half hours to the lower bound when operating under full load with WLAN enabled, maximum brightness and active HD 4330 graphics card. In practical tests, we measured almost three hours of uninterrupted wireless surfing at maximum brightness, power saving profile and HD3200 test. When watching a DVD with the included external drive, high performance profile, also maximum brightness and HD 4330 graphics cards was discharged after more than three-quarter hours of battery.

This test model is coming with the requirements of a small mobile entertainer . The switchable graphics the device is very well adapted to the current demand for graphics performance and battery life. Nevertheless, it can reach up to 6.5 hours with no new peak in terms of HP Pavilion DM4 battery life.

An impediment to the mobile user is likely to prove to the highly reflective screen. The brightness could turn out for a quiet outdoor use later.

Despite the relatively small size, the interface equipment is well matched to the proposed area of operation. With HDMI, WebCam, four USB 2.0 ports, LAN and Bluetooth you can find almost everything you expect from a mobile entertainer. Only the internal optical drive is missing. But even then, HP Compaq 6730s battery has thought along with supplies and an external USB drive.

The dm3 was developed as a mobile entertainer for the consumer market. A professional permanent use is not advisable because of the reflective screen. Should the dm3 closer to consider is to pay particular attention to the precise, very different specification of each model, which ultimately determines the application range of the laptop.
