Unboxing the HP DM1. This machine is one of the first with AMD's Fusion CPU.
The DM1 box contents. Not much in the way of extraneous bits and pieces.
The battery compartment.
The 6 cell battery is standard for machines like this. We'll be interested to see if battery life improves with AMD's Fusion platform
The DM1 with the battery in place. A clever design makes the battery look like part of the chassis when viewing from the typing position - it doesn't stick out too much.
The DM1 looks smart, almost business-like in its grey/black design.
The design looks good and picks up the light - it's a subtle design that doesn't showoff like many brightly coloured netbooks on the market.

Curved edges.
The curved panel hides a gigabit ethernet port.
The vents are designed to channel heat away from your lap.
Closeup showing vents and locking point. The DM1 also boasts an HDMI connection. Graphics performance should be better than Atom netbooks, making this capable of streaming movies to larger screens.
Side view.
The Pavilion DM1. At 1.57Kg the DM1 isn't the lightest on the market.
As we've come to expect the DM1 has a chiclet keyboard design.
Our first impressions of the keyboard are favourable. The touchpad has taken longer to get used to.
The HP DM1 has Coolsense technology, which is designed to detect when the laptop is being used (using motion sensors) and adjust the cooling.
