The MacBook Alternative

HP Pavilion DV-4 Entertainment PC – $579.99 – $749.99

Say you’re not a computer nerd.  Nor do you work in the graphic arts or video editing field.  You’re not a gamer, don’t need to run thirty-four programs at the same time, and although you do download music you still enjoy the feel of an honest to God CD in your hands.

A wannabe Mac? Yep. But it's affordable.

Here’s your computer.

Will this HP Pavilion DV-4 perform as well as a $1,000 MacBook?  Can’t imagine that it does.  But it sure works without fail for this website.  A 14.1″ White and Black, 4 GB of RAM, HP Pavilion DV-4 is what this site is published with.

It’s small and light, it looks good, and it’s got way more power than a measly little netbook.  It has guts, it can do things, and it does them with speed and consistency.

All for hundreds less than a MacBook.

(Don’t need a CD Drive? Try this stainless steel laptop from HP for $584.00.)
