First of all my overall say for this laptop is: I have reasearched of and on for a couple of years and just standing back because i didnt really need one and as of right now after about a week of non-stop searching for the best computer for the money i came across this. When i found it it think it was about $730.00 with a $50 HP rebate bringing the total to $680.00 the next day after comparing and gawking at the pics and specs the price dropped to $680.00 with the $50 HP rebate bringing the total to $620.00. so i searched around found out noboody could beat that price and saw it was available at my local Staples and a car accident later i went home and purchased it. I couldnt be happier. It is Hp DV6-1350US.
Pros:
Fast – when you click on something it opens no questions ask just does what its told.
Quiet – Not even the fan has made noise yet.
Battery life
Fast start up – from hibernation and from being turned completely off.
Well built – I feel like i could put my elbows on it and lean (but i wont haha)
Windows 7 – took less than a minute to install a printer that took me 4 hours to install on my XP computer.
Not really any useless space taking preloaded software.
Fast and Easy setup.
Beautiful Design – My friends are jealous!
Remote and storage for remote included – Great for my school presentations
Fast and easy cd/dvd burning and riping
Cons: (Just petty things that dont really matter)
Fingerprint magnet – doesnt really matter or take away from anything
The built-in webcam is kinda fuzzy but thats if you really look close – this can be easily overlooked
Power cord plug-in placement – it wraps around the computer because i have it set so that the outlet is to the left of the wall and the plug is on the right of the computer.
Notes:
When you start it up and set it up and its all ready the first thing you should do is make the recovery disks (it doesn’t come with them) incase anything wrong were to happen. All you need are three DVD-R or DVD + R disks and follow the instructions.
About the BIG battery it doesn’t really bother me. This is why i went to Staples so i could see if this was really a big deal like people made it seem. I like the angle it puts the laptop on, its easier for me to type on it. It makes a space so that air can go through keeping it cool. The only inconvenience i see is that it could be somewhat awkward to carry around. But again that wont really matter due to the fact that i have the big satchel bag to carry it around in and i think its a fair trade 8 hours of battery life for a simple awkward carrying complication.
Though it is a 320 GB hard drive when you get it it will only have about 250-260 GB (Or at least mine did) on it and thats normal its just windows and the software and the recovery software that HP has on it.
Things i personly like the best about this:
The slideshow background themes
The speed
Quietness
Windows 7 is sooooo simple and clean!
Windows DVD maker is nice for making slideshows with pics and music and putting it all on a disk.
The new windows 7 tricks like putting to windows to the sides to compare and shaking a window to make all of the others disapear.
Fast start up – as opposed from my XP computer start up times have decreased by up to 3-4 minutes no more saying i dont want to go through the trouble of tunring the computer on!
