5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Laptop, July 8, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: HP Pavilion dv6-6140us Entertainment Notebook PC (Silver) (Personal Computers)
PROS:
When I first received the laptop, the box was a bit beat up, which worried me a bit, but shrugged it off once I saw the way it was packed. Aesthetic wise, the laptop is very sleek and the island keyboard prevents it from getting really dirty. The style is nice, and everything works smoothly. I played Heroes of Newerth, Starcraft 2, CSS, and TF2 all on high graphics in its native resolution and it runs smoothly. I didn't notice this till 2 days after I got it, but there is a button specifically for the internet (a one-click button to open the default web browser), I was impressed by that. Fingerprint reader is very accurate, and allows for quick log-in into most websites. Laptop is pretty fast in the applications I've run so far, and temperature wise, stays below critical levels all of the time (so far) and I tend to run laptops until they literally fry.

CONS:
A bunch of bloatware, doesn't take much to get it off tho.
Mouse Clicker is indeed very loud, I... Read more

Felt solid out of the box. Looks good. Rich feature set and a good price at just $649 (now just $599!).

Just take a look at the specs - this machine looks GREAT on paper. A8 AMD Quad core processor, 6 gigs of RAM (A 4GB stick & 2GB stick, both made by Samsung) is upgradable to 8GB, 640GB HD (the HD in all 3 of the dv6-6140us' I tried were made by Toshiba...what is this? coopetition?) For the most part it has everything it promises.

HOWEVER - I think I got a dud because the only issue / issues I have are with the display.

I also get the shadow on the start up in the lower right hand corner of the screen every time I turn on or wake up this laptop (just as noted by another reviewer).

When it was brand new, just out of the box, I got the horizontal lines streaking across the screen as did another reviewer. They appear all over the screen, random placement, horizontally. That hasn't happened since I was initially setting up the computer but now... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars very satisfied with it, July 2, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: HP Pavilion dv6-6140us Entertainment Notebook PC (Silver) (Personal Computers)
Pros: At first I was hesitant to buy HP because of all the crap they load on their pc's and usually their prices are a little higher. When I saw the specs on this pc tho, I knew I had to get it. The bloatware isn't as significant as older hp laptops, After a few uninstalls here and there you are good to go. The laptop can be compared to my gaming pc in terms of regular performance, in many things they are very similar except the graphics card. Basically the laptop is pretty fast in most things. On the laptop you can play games like team fortress 2 maxed out in native resolution cause of the decent graphics card. That's the most I expected from this. The laptop is also very very quiet.

Cons: the glossy black around the screen is a dust magnet. The battery life is a little more than 3 hours while using internet but that's to be expected I would think.

Overall pretty awesome laptop and you get a free xbox. This review is having the laptop after a few days so don't... Read more
