HP Pavilion DV6 Series 15.6-Inch Laptop (Windows 7) Review
November 11th, 2009
HP Pavilion DV6 Series 15.6-Inch Laptop (Windows 7) Review from Recycler. Beware the big battery, Just got this laptop, and haven’t loaded application SW yet. Will do another review later on performance.
Wanted to let you know that this ships with a 12-cell battery, as advertised, but that this is huge and sticks out the bottom of the laptop, so the combination of laptop+battery exceeds the advertised dimensions and weight. The size and shape of the battery make it very difficult to fit into my briefcase. I called HP, and they said that this is the standard configuration, and that I’d have to buy a 6-cell battery if I wanted one that is flush with the bottom of the laptop case.
Also, the chrome trim has a lot of sharp corners and edges that may catch on the interior of a briefcase.
There are no recovery disks, so budget time and expense to make these.
Other than that, everything’s fine. The initial start-up and registration were painless. The (glossy) display and keyboard (with a nearly full-size number pad) are terrific. I look forward to using the machine as my main PC.
