HP Pavilion dv6-1030us Laptop User Review:

Pros:

• Nice size screen, plenty of RAM-great performance and nice to have a number pad on a laptop.
• HDMI output is a great addition, card reader etc. Solidly built as well and not too heavy.
• Easy set up; added software with no problems; looks great. I bought this for my wife whom has much less computer experience. She is pleased with it’s performance; with our high speed cable internet(3gbs) she has been surfing without complaint. Gobs of memory for her to put all her pictures on it. Good price for all it’s atributes.
• Sleek, fairly fast, comes with Vista 64bit to take advantage of the 4Gb memory.
• Comes with a remote that goes in the card slot. Bluetooth works out of the box and is easy to use. The built in webcam is surprisingly good.
• There is a slot in the PC that holds the mini remote control. On the left side of the laptop. Cool! At least I think so.

Cons:

• The touch pad is shiny metal like chrome and it leaves fingerprints and smudgies.
• I find the screen resolution to be lacking for a 16" monitor. The highest res you can get on the DV6 and what this has is only 1366 x 768, it should be available in the 1600 x 900 resolution display like Sony has.
• Battery life ok, not great, ca. 2hr. with typical powersaver settings, probably significantly less if you watch DVDs.
• Hard drive speed is 5400RPM, 7200RPM would be nice.

HP Pavilion dv6-1030us Laptop Other Thoughts:

• I like the Onyx color very much.
• HP Pavilion dv6-1030us laptop is much better than my previous laptop! Our family has almost exclusively had HP Pavilion computers! I am very impressed with this laptop! The features on this laptop make it worth the price. The quality makes the price worth it! I almost went with a more expensive computer and different company; but am glad I went with an HP!!
• It has extra wide screen. Some primitive application’s don’t work well on the ~2:1 aspect ratio.
