When I reviewed the HP Pavilion dv4-1540us I was impressed with its performance, stylish design, and generous port selection, but lamented the absence of a high resolution display and discrete graphics. This time around the HP Pavilion dv4-2153cl ($749.99), available at Costco, offers the latest Intel Core i3 "Arrandale" processor and sports a slightly different look than the dv4-1540us. However, the screen is still a relatively low-res panel, and while the graphics solution is somewhat improved, it is still integrated. Additionally, I expected a longer battery life from a 14-inch notebook.
