In my eyes, the DV6 is proof that laptops are very affordable. The specs are:

AMD Turion 64, dual core processor
2 GB DDR2 memory
15.4″ WXGA High-Definition HP BrightView Widescreen Display (1280 x 800)
256MB NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) Go 7200
160GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
LightScribe SuperMulti 8X DVD+/-RW with Double Layer Support
1.3 Megapixel Webcam with mic built into screen
Altec Lansing speakers built in
3 USB ports, ExpressCard/54 Slot, Video Out,
Windows Vista Home Premium
these are the specs that the laptop my friend has.

One of the things that sold me on this laptop was the screen. The screen is excellent. It is bright and clear, and provides a respectable
1280×800 resolution in a widescreen format. there are other notebooks with higher resolution. but It really comes down to preference. For me, I thought 1280×800 was a good resolution to use for a 15.4″ screen. My only complaint with the screen is that the glare is really bad when trying to use the unit outside. It gets so bed you might as well look at a mirror with a dark background

This unit uses AMD rather than Intel meaning that it generates more heat. the performance of this notebook is quite good. It actually opens many apps much
faster than my desktop PC,
which is using an Intel Pentium dual core. So, there are no complaints about speed, but, it does generate a lot of heat heat.

The HP Pavilion DV6 is a really nice, solid laptop and you really can’t go wrong with it. The price makes it very affordable.
The unit has a nice, sleek design and good all-around performance. It also offers a solid balance of features which really makes this laptop usable as
a desktop replacement aslong as it is now left unplugged for a long time

So, despite a few setbacks, you really can’t go wrong with the DV6 if you are looking for a solid, balanced home laptop without spending too much money.
