I bought model DV6-1354US with 500gb hard drive and 6 cell battery. I use this laptop for editing photos with Adobe Photoshop CS4, as well as editing audio with Adobe Audition 2.0.
I have a five year ancient HP laptop running XP and it is still going strong. Despite outsourced Indian phone support, I was able to communicate support issues effectively. I am confident in prospect hardware performance and support from HP.
Transition from XP to Windows 7 was intuitive. The new taskbar is my favorite improvement. Followed by much better graphic interface and widgets. Some of my XP software causes Windows 7 to turn off Aero mode. I feel that windows has caught up with Apple in terms of graphics and workflow.
As far as laptop is concerned, Dave from Portland has a fantastic review comparing the different models available on Amazon. The DV6-1354US is sufficient for me to use Adobe Photoshop and Audition, as well as multitask.
I will never go to a laptop again without a numeric keypad, this was an unexpected plus. I do miss the ancient HP media controls above the keyboard. They are replaced now by a volume and wireless control. I like that they are no longer buttons but touch sensitive surfaces above the keyboard.
The DV6 is quieter and cooler than my ancient HP. The power cord is beefier, which was always a problem with my ancient HP. Although I would prefer a magnetic power cord like Apple offers. Compared to other manufacturers, I would have to say that HP has the best price for fantastic, reliable hardware.
Everything is a wonderful improvement except for the sound. Frequently, friends would question where the composition was coming from when I used my ancient DV1000. I felt that the sound was very rich for such a small system. I find the DV6 to have a much shallower, smaller sound that finds distress filling a bedroom. For this reason, I drop the DV6 to four stars.
Also, the DV6 doesn’t come with recovery disks. You need 3 DVD+R or -R (not RW) disks to make your own.
Overall, I really delight in this computer, and probably will continue to delight in it for another 5 to 7 years in anticipation of RAM is in petabytes and laptops cook dinners. If I had to do it again I would still choose it over an Acer, Asus, Dell, Mac, or Sony.
I have got this HP notebook due to the software I need to use. I usually use Mac and like its stability and smoothness. When I used windows (it was windows Me and XP) years ago, it was not really a excellent experience… But this time is different. Windows 7 works solid and reliable. The machine is quick enough for its price, and I was surprised how light it weighs. If you carry your computer around, this is nice. You cannot complain about this machine since it deserves credit for its functionality, reliability and the price cost. For average user like me, this is excellent.
Only annoying thing is you have to make your own recovery disks (3 dvd blank disks you have to prepare). There is no os disk so this is vital to do. It does not matter except for waiting a long time to burn those 3 dvd disks…
I like technology and at a reasonable price is even better. This is the first Non Dell I have bought in over a decade. I had not been wowed by the last few I had for work.
The reviews on this style of HP were excellent. Friends and colleagues at other companies were pleased with theirs. I ordered this for my wife. I expected it a month ago and am by the multimedia stuff, the lightscribe CD/DVD burner etc. All very simple. Windows 7 seems very solid. The 4 Meg of RAM moves it along quickly. The N wireless card is quick and furious on the N+ Router (Belkin). we are doing Amazon movie on demand and no delays. Keyboard feels excellent, has built in number pad, nice. But the keys do get lost in w very low lighting. Possibly back-lighting the keys or iridium down the road?
So for the first month anyhow, very pleased with it.
Well, I tend to whisper mean things and curse my computer on a daily basis, but I haven’t felt the need to do that with this one. It’s quick enough with lots of storage space and with a excellent amount of quality programs already loaded. I like how the computer manages its own health and happiness issues and it regularly reminds me to backup my files. The computer handles the large graphing programs I use with out the long pauses I have experienced previously. My one complaint is the screen shape. It has a small-wide screen. The small is the problem for me; with most programs having large tool bars at the top and or bottom of the screen a small screen makes a smaller workable space, but movies look fantastic on it and the resolution is excellent even when viewed at angle. I know I may possibly have sprung for the DV7 with the 17.3″ screen rather than the cheaper 15.6″ but the superfluous screen size added an addition 4 pounds (ouch)!
For me, it is the perfect laptop.Its features seems to be the perfect amalgamation. Windows 64 bit, dual processor, 4 gb RAm, 500 gb hard drive ( this is wow) , webcam and microphone, and an optical drive lightscribe- you can categorize right after burning, and has a remote. I have been looking for six months before I bought this. When I saw the features, I knew straight away it was the laptop for me. Thanks Amazon and HP. [...] I don’t know if there is another laptop in the market which can beat it at its price and features. The only thing I don’t like about it is its warranty coverage which covers only the US.
