This laptop is a useless sack of shit. The stupid power port doesn't work and you have to hold the fucking power cord and jiggle it to make this over priced pice of shit usefull. Know what HP wants for the part? $47.50 + shipping and over 3 hours to replace the fucker. Shitbag fucknose bullshit o rama ding dong this thing sucks!
now it isnt working the DVD or microphone jack even tho the DVD whie starting checks itself and the unused USB port can be used for recharging a motorola bluetooth headset...
Contacted HP and they say its hardware issue so, if i upgrade to 7 will it still be the same?
@dvangar its a hardware issue than you will have to send it to a specialist since upgrading it won't really work. Plus you have to use a dvd drive so you can upgrade so how would that work?
This turkey was slapped together in Thailand, on the floor of a mud hut by underpaid gooks. HP decided to move their operation out of China, they saved on labor, it was assembled by children who were underpaid and overworked.
My HP6910 is a fine paperweight, 3 pounds of plastic and brass hardware that Hewlett-packard won't answer for, it's been paid for and I'm on my own now while it overheats and their tech support treats me like I was a fuckin' werewolf. Corporations suck, HP included!
This was a VERY good review, but I have just one question: Does the laptop come with the 64-bit Windows Vista? Because I want to upgrade to 4 GB of RAM. thx
For everyday things like browsing the web, Home Premium 32-bit will be fine. But if you want to run more demanding applications that might require more RAM, or utilize the CPU more (ie Photoshop) then a 64-bit version of Vista would be better.
Home Basic should only be used if you're computer is really low in the spec department. For most of today's computers Home Premium and up work better.
You need to take your laptop back to where you bought it and see if you can stretch the salesman's sphincter wide enough to lodge that failing laptop up into the ass of the clown who sold it to you!
It was designed by Mid-eastern and Asian "engineers", people who are still using single ply toilet paper and dealing with outdoor plumbing. Yes, we ALL have heating problems but the smart ones have learned to cook steak on the processor chip. When the world gets lemons, look for the HP logo.
Im planning on getting this laptop and i like it as it is but im thinking of upgrading it when i get it, i plan on geting another gig of ram for it and i also plan on buying a new processor (2.6ghz intel duo)for it that cost me about 200-250$ and give it a 1000$ value
Is it true that AMD based laptops heats up fast? I was curious because I am going to buy a new laptop. And how long does the battery last? Is it as good as the intel?
Yes you can. It's really easy. Just open the YouCam software that I show, and record your video. It is automatically saved to a folder in Documents. Then simply open Windows Movie Maker, and edit your video.
If you want to run Team Fortress, GO FOR IT! Runs pretty well. I did have to down some of the settings, but the screen on this badboy makes it still lookS fabulous! Another little secret, GO INTO THE BIOS SETTINGS AND CHANGE YOU VIDEO MEMORY TO 128MBS DEDICATED! Portal runs a little slow looking into the portal but doesnt bother me too much cuz the rest looks great. Still better than my old desktop could do.
How is this a review? Your just telling us what this has. A review usually tells you how the computer performs and what you think about it. Just thought you should know. I bought this last week and it is an awesome laptop. The video card isn't top of the line, but it works pretty well. I don't suggest the newest games on it like Dirt, Assassins Creed. Most of the games on Gametap look fantastic and play very fast. So games about a year old are fine. Download demos before buying games for it.
this may sound like a stupid question but can you use the laptop without the power cord that's plugged in or is that the charger??? im getting this laptop in 2 days and i don't want to be lost when i buy it ---Please Reply---
On the default power mode, you can get about 4-6 hours. I have it on high performance (brightest screen setting, best cpu/gpu performance, bluetooth and wifi on) and I get about 2 hours.
Good review man. Just bought the dv6910EA. It comes with with the HD screen and HDMI, which might explain why you're didn't. They might of used the picture for that with it.
But yes, good laptop, can't wait for mine to come now!
Unfortunately, no. I too thought there was an HDMI port, because all the picture that I saw of this laptop had the HDMI. And then when I bought it, I discovered there was none. :(
Hey, I just bought mine from Office Deopt, Aug. 23 08 for total of 729 with tax. There is a total of 175 mail in rebates, that means it will only be about 500!
Fixed it a while ago, was the video chipset, anyways it still sucks

It doesn't have the best graphics card, so when you run games, you have to do it on low settings.
