The Hp dv6 is a good laptop. It's AMD Turion X2 is a dual-core processor gives it good speed for everyday use but also gives the computer it's main disadvantage. This processor has a tendency to overheat with use and it gets worse over time. This doesnt just cause disconfort with a burning sensation on your lap, but it can damage the motherboard and let's face it a new motherboard is a new computer. In my experience I had to change my motherboard because my onboard GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) was toasted useless by the heat.
On a happier note you can expand the overall durability of your computer and battery life if you refrain from using it on a surface where the fan will be obstructed, i.e. lap, bed, covers. Use a cooling base for the computer, they work great on these laptops and you dont have to lose affordability or speed by choosing Intel
