this laptop seriously sucks. it has done a gret job immitating macbooks but the mous and trackpad are absolutely shocking. To be quite frank i was considering buying this until i tried it out. I am lost as to wheter to go for a PC or MAC......... URGHHHH.
It;s really not that good - it has issues with the synaptics touchpad, overheating problems and the battery is not that great. In contrast, it has a great configuration, sweet and sleek design and good low-light webcam.
I have a HP Pavilion dv6 2170eo notebook. it has a core i7 Q 720 1,6 GHz, 6GB ddr3 ram and a Nvidia Geforce with cuda graphic. where can you find Turboboost for your PC?
Dont know why so many peeps say bad things about this lappy. Mines got i5 and hd5650 combo. My battery lasts up to 4 hours on surfing. 3 watching a video. And after some tweaking/optimizing im able to run it on passive (fan off) when doing simple tasks such as surfing the web, word processing, messenger etc.
Hey i have the same laptop quick question does the fan speed varies? Like every 3 secs does it go up and down up and down? U need to lessen to it to see if It does that... I called hp and they said that it's normal..new technology that's why..highly doubt that Doh
I hate how HP and every other company uses the same name over and over again for different products...I'm looking at an Hp dv6 laptop right now, but not one on youtube looks like it...
Please do not buy one of these laptops. It makes and incredible amount of heat. My laptop (this model) broke down after 2 months, and i had to send it to repair. Hp lied to me saying it's a software problem instead of saying hardware which it was. If they had told me the truth i could have returned it. They are very smart people and i was the dumb one for buying their product. You may hate my comment but i'm just doing you a big favour. I highly recommend getting a Macintosh laptop. Thank you.
the thing is thay are rushing making tease laptops they did not pop in the keybored all the way and the hp logo was not poped in ither was not that happy
Just bought the dv6-3090 with 6gb ram, 640gb drive, radeon hd 5640 1gb, and i7 720 1,6GHz, it runs greate, i play Star Craft II with no problem on pretty high settings, and i don't have to wait for anything to load or compile when i do programming. Pretty happy with this buy.
@xoxmusicxox15 it's around 2 hours, never tested properly cause i usually run on power. But it's a really powerful laptop. it scored E13778 in 3D Mark Vantage, not so bad for a laptop machine. If you want power you should go for it.
You know, this is the only video where someone had in in the light needed to make it look like it has a pink tint. lol. I really hope my house and school don't have that lighting! xD
does anyone have the edge to edge glass screen on dv6 or dv7? does dust go under it? do you have any problems with keys leaving their marks on the screen (it was a production flaw on earlier dv7's, keys sometimes left scratches and deformed the screen when lid closed)
i bought my dv6-3042tx for $1580 from Harvey Norman
specs:
1.7-2.8 i7
8gb ram
640 gb HDD
blue-ray rom
im still waiting for it to come in.
the way i got it so cheep is i went to HN and said i could get it fro officeworks for $1597 and they said ok they would beat it and they sold it to me for $1596(lol one dollar.
but coz i live in country vic it has to be ordered in.
I prefer the new dv7. I think it's $1300 at bestbuy. With i7. 6g ram. 5650. Separate number pad. Larger screen. Etc. Pretty sweet deal.... Oh and btw, hp has done a great job with the newer design. I hated the previous pavilion lineup with black gloss finish and weird designs on the cover.
@XxHardcorexxGamerxX No backlit keyboard, no touchscreen, same specs, and half again the weight? Meh. The only real advantage to getting the 17 inch is the higher resolution screen- which is still a tad on the low side for that size.
I have the 3042tx but I'm getting awful battery life off it, with brightness as low as it goes on powersaver only web browsing I only get a bit over an hour, help please????
@shortstuph1124 Only the metal Pavilion laptops (dm4, dv6se, and dv7se but NOT the dm3) have it. The plastic models don't and there's no option to add it.
@gizmodude2k5 dude i have the same laptop.mine gets heated when i play games in it.does urs too?i dont know if there is something wrong with my laptop?
yeah i was weary of the screen resolution also but then again its not terrible, 720p on a 15" is similar to 1080p on a 24" screen. My suggestion is wait for the envy 14 to come out
in australia it has been out for 1-2 weeks however they are speced models and not customisable through the HP website, as for the USA you can purchase the base model for as low at 800USD and add touchscreens and backlit keyboards!!!!
@UncleDomino Well, it's a mid-range laptop. Only high-end and premium laptops have resolutions like that most of the time. Plus it would kill ENVY sales.
