HP's tiny 14-inch dm4 Pavilion range was relatively non-descript but the company has teamed up with the good Dr Dre to add a touch of audio fidelity with its Beats technology. The HP Pavilion dm4-3000ea Beats Edition has been given a beautiful Beats-inspired design upgrade and a specs boost to make it a great addition to the range.
What HP tends to do with its mid-price laptop is make good multi-media all-rounders and the HP Pavilion dm4-3000ea Beats Edition is no exception.

Design, Build and Connectivity
Can’t afford one of HP’s Envy 14 Spectre designer Ultrabooks? Worry not, if you want to stand out without stretching your wallet too much there’s always the ‘premium’ Beats range of Dr. Dre-certified HP laptops, finished in a rather fetching combination of black and red. Today we’re looking at the latest addition to this stable, the Pavilion dm4-3000ea Beats Edition.
First off let’s make one thing perfectly clear: Beats Edition laptops are nothing unique. They’re merely your regular HP laptop with decent specifications stuck into a premium-feeling black-and-red chassis, with a few extra touches, an emphasis on good audio (whether through the retuned speakers and subwoofer or re-engineered headphone jacks) and some custom software, plus a bundled pair of Beats headphones.
The only downside is the lack of value for money. Although the £899 price tag will get you a strong audio performance (plus a damn good laptop), there are more affordable models around, ablbeit minus Dr Dre's input.
