    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fast. Well made. Feature packed. Looks good.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can be expensive for more featured models.

    There are many HP Pavillion laptops, this one is specifically for the HP PAVILLION DV6 6051 EA. The spec is, Intel Core i5 processor 6Gb Ram 750Gb Hard drive Radeon HD 6490M graphics card Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit Usual stuff also included such as built in webcam, microphone, 15" glossy screen, memory card reader, finger print device, USB3 ports, HDMI out etc. For years I was a Dell fan. All my laptops for the last few years have been Dell and I was happy with them. Recently I was due a new laptop, so again I viewed the Dell line up but this time I wasn't happy, they appeared to be putting ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages build quality, beats audio, bundled software, built in bluetooth

    Disadvantages Disadvantages two finger gestures, heat problems, fan noise

    This review is based on the HP Pavillion DV6-6051ea. This laptop is manufactured by HP who are famous for their high quality computers. This laptop does not disappoint, the lid has a brushed aluminum finish with a simple HP logo in the top right corner. When you open it, you are presented with a glossy black 15.6" screen and a full size island style keyboard with a number pad on the right. Between the two is a metallic speaker grille with Beats by Dre audio. There is a large touchpad with separately clickable keys in an off left position and a scrolling fingerprint reader to the right. The ... more

    5 Stars Best little investment I've ever made 05/01/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages I've used other laptops, but this one is a keeper.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The Altec Lansing speakes could be better.

    This HP Pavilion dv6000 I bought off a customer because she was upgrading to a HP dv9000. The z key missing and the right hozzle was crack, but it was nothing that a little dab of epoxy wouldn't hurt. I have had HP products in the past, like desktops and printers, this is my first laptop from them. When she offered it to me for a $100.00 I couldn't pass this up. First things that I did was clean her registry and unwanted files and programs. I checked the hard drive for skips and when it came up totally clean, I was a very happy man. The 15.4 glossy widescreen lcd display made everything ... more

    5 Stars fantastic fast laptop 09/03/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages fast, good quality, attractive, good at playing dvds, games and music, fantastic value for money

    Disadvantages Disadvantages awful battery life, does not come with Office

    I was given this laptop as my birthday present and i am happy to say i have few complaints ! This laptop has a lovely design, a simple black colour (though it also was available in white) with circles on the top. It isnt too heavy and has a good built in webcam with a microphone which is very useful for talking to my friends and will be good if I go to university and would like to see my friends face to face. It is an entertainment laptop and is very fast and easy to use. It came pre-installed with Windows 7, which i have to say is a fantastic, fast system. Being a naturally clumsy person, I ... more

    4 Stars My first Laptop the HP Pavilion dv6 21/08/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Value for money, stylish and fast

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Noisy, gets to hot and standby mode shuts off screen

    I am writing this review to make any future customers of this range or HP laptop aware of its strengths and weaknesses. I bought the Laptop from Curry's and paid £399.00 with a Laptop case (HP branded one) thrown in for good measure. I found this price to be quite reasonable for what I was getting. The colour I chose was a dark red with some pattern on the outside. The laptop is very aesthetically pleasing with a red shell and a black keyboard with a black mouse pad. The laptop feels stylish and expensive. I love a lot of the feature's this laptop comes with even the pre-loaded wallpapers have ... more
