    Hi,
    I am looking for HP Pavilion notebook and I am searching for i7 processor with 14" inch screen, but I couldn't able to find it in shops. All the 14" inch screen is comes with either i3/i5. Do i7 comes only with 13/13.5 inches?
    Any hp pavilion model with 14" inch comes with i7?

    I have customized the Dm4t with i7 processor, initially I got the message saying "We currently not serving the PC configured.....".
    Then I have slected i5 and added to cart, before making the payment, I have updated it to i7 and it didn't throw any unavilability message.
    While filling out the personal details for payment, I have noticed it has only Unuted States. How to buy it if we are in other country like singapore.

    The i7 in the dm4t is the dual core 620 model. You're better off going with an i5-450 or 540- the dual core i7 models generally aren't worth the loss of battery life and increased heat generation.

    And none of those rumors are true. There is little difference in heat output and battery life between an i5-520/540M or i7-620M.

    Well, upon doing 30 seconds of research, I discovered that the i7-620 is in fact a 35 watt CPU and not a 45 watt as I had believed. Shame on me.

    The only question, then, is whether it's worth the money.

    I would give HP a call. Their sales reps can tweak a lot of things the automated online configuration can't, and sometimes can even do it cheaper if you talk to the right person.
