Weighing 3460 g, this laptop is less portable, which can be an issue for users who travel frequently. Finally, the Windows Vista Home Premium operating system is now outdated and may cause compatibility issues with recent software as well as security updates. In summary, the HP Pavilion dv7-1215er is a device suitable for users with basic needs, but it has limitations for those seeking higher performance and modern connectivity.
