Pavilion dv3z is compact in size, about 2.6 cm thick in the front and 3.4 cm in the back. With a 9-cell battery, the device will be about 1.3 cm thick in the back edge, not very aesthetically pleasing, but the posture is slightly sloping forward to make it more comfortable to type.
The Pavilion dv3z has a scratch-resistant case, a bright, shiny copper finish. On that background, sophisticated interlocking block motifs on the surface of the touch panel and touchpad provide an impressive, artistic feel in the design. Multimedia touch keys are similar to other HP Pavilion dv models placed above, 'disguised' on a silver frame, glowing every time the device is turned on. If you pay more 25 USD, users will own a keyboard LED background is worth money because the letters and characters painted white on the surface of the copper keys are quite difficult to see and in low light conditions. The silver touchpad is spacious and prominent, but not sensitive and difficult to use when the fingertip is sticky or sweaty.

The Pavilion dv3z uses a 13.3-inch LCD screen, LED backlight gives a brighter and sharper image, with a resolution of 1,280 x 800 pixels, clear and readable text display. When watching DVD movies, users will feel smooth images with true and vivid colors. However, with fast, powerful action scenes, the screen still leaves fuzzy spots, but to detect the user must pay great attention.
The dv3z speakers have a much better sound compared to many other 13-inch models. In a small room, the sound of the loudspeaker is loud enough, not distorted when it comes to the maximum volume. In particular, there is no noise. But compared to the sound quality of larger models like the HP Hdx, dv3z is only enough to please the needs of those who are not too strict.
In terms of connectivity, the Pavilion dv3z equips users with all the necessary connections with 2 USB ports, eSATA / USB ports, HDMI, VGA, Ethernet, Heaphone / Micro ports, 34mm ExpressCard slot and card reader " 5-in-1 ". When running many applications, and the device has to work at full capacity, the radiator fan on the right side will emit noise, very noticeable.

In addition, Digital Personal provides login information and password management tools.
Pavilion dv3z is not a powerful machine in terms of processing speed, but with AMD Turion X2 Ultra ZM-84 processor and ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics card, it is still a 'popular' laptop with strong entertainment. . The HP Pavilion dv3z is capable of continuous operation for 2 hours and 50 minutes with a 6-cell battery, 20 minutes longer than the average usage of other 13-inch models.
