Review summary	The HP Pavilion dv1000 is a solid and sensibly priced system for students, families, and small-business users who want to work and play on the road.	It's not perfect and it's not cheap, but the Qosmio E15-AV101 delivers TV, PVR, DVD, and laptop in one high-performance package.	If you put movie watching above computing performance, the modestly priced Averatec 6200 is a decent, if basic, laptop.
