Editorial Review: Product Description: HP Pavilion dv6000 Entertainment Notebook PC combines mobility, power and entertainment in a new design. Featuring an HP Imprint finish, the dv6000's subtle "wave" pattern was influenced by Zen rock gardens and compliments the stylish, curvilinear design. High-gloss piano black on the outside with polished silver on the inside, HP's resin finish is more durable than standard options. The dv6000 design is further enhanced by back-lit, touch-sensitive media controls that are activated by a touch or tap of a finger. Amazon.com Product Description: Designed for fast access to your entire entertainment library, the HP Pavilion dv6870us notebook PC is a great choice for both families and business travelers on the go. The 15.4-inch high-definition BrightView display looks good even in direct sunlight, and you'll enjoy movies or music in seconds with the external DVD or music buttons to launch HP QuickPlay (which bypasses the boot process). Control playback settings from up to 10 feet away with the included HP remote, then store it conveniently in the Express card slot. Easily manage your digital photo library and share with friends and family using the included HP Photosmart Essential software. This stylish laptop also features a high-gloss, durable HP Imprint finish with the Radiance pattern of concentric waves. Optimized for mobile performance, it's powered by the 2.2 GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-64 dual-core processor, which offers 64-bit computing capability and higher throughput for simultaneous computing tasks. This notebook also features a 320 GB hard drive, 3 GB of installed RAM (4 GB maximum), quad-mode Wi-Fi connectivity (802.11a/b/g/n), 8x dual-layer DVD±RW drive (which also burns CDs), ExpressCard slot, Nvidia GeForce 8400M GS with up to 1535 MB of total allocated video memory, 5-in-1 memory card reader, HDMI A/V output, and Bluetooth connectivity. It also includes an integrated Webcam in the LCD's bezel and an omnidirectional microphone for easy video chats. It comes preinstalled with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium (Service Pack 1), which includes all of the Windows Media Center capabilities for turning your PC into an all-in-one home entertainment center. In addition to easily playing your DVD movies and managing your digital audio library, you'll be able to record and watch your favorite TV shows (even HDTV). Vista also integrates new search tools throughout the operating system, includes new parental control features, and offers new tools that can warn you of impending hardware failures. The Basics
You'll enjoy razor-sharp graphics and widescreen movies with the 15.4-inch WXGA high-definition screen, which displays an 18 percent larger picture than standard 15-inch screens and an improved contrast ratio. It has a widescreen resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels--perfect for watching DVD movies the way they were meant to be seen. Video is powered by the Nvidia GeForce 8400M GS graphics card, which provides up to 1535 MB of available RAM/video memory (256 MB dedicated video RAM) for unmatched HD video performance on a notebook PC. With support for Microsoft DirectX 10 Shader Model 4.0 and High Dynamic-Range Lighting (HDR), the 8400M lets you rip through all of today's most advanced and cutting-edge games and applications. The Altec Lansing speakers provide exceptional sound, and a pair of stereo earbud headphones with volume controls is included. You'll be able to privately share enjoyment of multimedia with a friend via the dual headphone jacks. Networking, Connectivity & Expansion Be ready for the next platform in wireless connectivity with the integrated quad-mode Wi-Fi chip. Based on the draft 802.11n Wi-Fi specification, it offers up to five times the performance and twice the wireless range as existing 802.11g wireless. It's also backward compatible with 802.11b/g networks (commonly found in home routers and wi-fi hotspots) as well as 802.11a networks (which has a higher throughput, but more limited range--great for closed office environments). You'll enjoy wireless connectivity to a wide range of peripherals with the built-in Bluetooth. It also includes a next-generation ExpressCard 54/34 card slot (though no standard PCMCIA slot), which lets you take advantage of thinner, faster, and lighter expansion cards for even more advanced wireless, networking, storage, and security features.

 Rating:  - Sweet Deal.This is a pretty sweet laptop. The screen is big, bright and great. The 3GB of RAM keep this puppy running smoothly and the 320 GB HDD gives you more than enough space to store what ever you need on this computer. The nVidia graphics card with 512 MB of separate memory makes the picture quality astounding. The touch buttons up top are perfect, not too sensitive, and not to the point where you have to stab them with your finger to work. An interesting feature I wasn't even aware because it wasn't ...

Rating: - Great usability, but has some issuesThe machine has an excellent display, great built in capabilities, an easy to use and high quality keypad, the right amount/placement of ports and a very sleek visual design.

It overheats and randomly freezes up. * Wireless card burns out if the system overheats. I've had to replace it once and ... Read More Rating: - HP Jokes with me.This unit is pathetic. Vista is a joke. Explorer locks up and crashes. HP wants me to spend hours with some kind of support phone call, and I make $100 per hour at work. I should just throw this unit away rather than throw good money after it. I am outside my 14 day return capability, so I am out of luck. HP says they are not responsible for software problems, but they offer NO alternative software. This unit was manufactured specifically for the Vista operating system, and any change, ... Read More Rating: - Great machine!I just got this computer but I wanted to point out a few features that don't seem to be listed. There is a built in webcam and microphone with the computer, which I haven't explored yet but look forward to. For security purposes there is a fingerprint reader so only you can log in to your computer, if you choose to set it up that way. If you go to the HP website you can get a detailed, printable list of everything you might want to know about this computer. Also, to make a label on a CD or DVD using ... Read More |
