The good: Improved design, audio beats, new USB 3.0 ports, an HD webcam, fingerprint sensor, a variety of scenarios ranging from budget to high end and the second generation of Core i- series are part of HP Pavilion dv6t reform design.
The bad: poor performance of AMD graphics, confusing many settings, and a keyboard Flexy experience a less-than-usually overwhelming.
The bottom line: The HP Pavilion dv6t is a solid improvement over the last HP notebook 15 inches of power consumption with multiple adjustments, bells and whistles, but the wide variety of choices means that they have very different systems depending on what can afford.
Midrange laptops are big cars as standard size, usually just not going to be very exciting. The HP Pavilion dv6t-6000 falls right into this category as a square peg into the hole inevitable, this 15.6-inch model is a highly configurable in the center of the mainstream line of HP notebooks, like the Dell Inspiron 15R.
Dv6t Pavilion is considered a "high performance" laptop on the HP website, but its acceleration configuration to power: a processor ranging from second-generation Core i7 i3 Core Dual-Core AMD mid-range graphics options and an optional Blu-ray 1080p. The elements are final dv6t largest of its ornaments: a fingerprint reader that can launch applications and Web pages, a hit-driven audio up / down the keyboard, speaker set, USB 3.0 and HD webcam.
The reasonable dv6t starts at $ 599 for a second generation of Core processors i3 CPU, Intel integrated graphics and a 500GB hard drive, our version had a $ 849 processor 2.3GHz Core i5-2410M, 6490M 1GB AMD Radeon graphics, disk Hard Drive 640 GB and 6 GB of RAM.
While this may sound like a good package for some, this bulky laptop still lacks some features high-end portable media in our price of $ 849, and was excellent in the games. If you are interested in moving to AMD to add better graphics, 1080p resolution and Blu-ray, dv6t can make the dream machine you're looking for, but at a higher price. Some may consider the adoption of low-end configuration, with its highest ornaments bell and whistle, making a smart purchase dv6t.
In our revised configuration, I was neither here nor there, and certainly much bigger than a laptop who prefer to travel. Frankly, for $ 850, I expected a little more. Looking back over the last HP dv6 model we tested, the new dv6t changed for better, sometimes dramatically. However, the first line of sight does not change much achieved so far: it seems that one of the laptops should be exceptional, but it is quite common.
A compliment we can give at the HP Pavilion dv6t is that his new design gives a very aesthetically pleasing, polished metal exterior and interior are smooth curves and a bronze and amber tone. The "gray steel" option has a cost of $ 25, but I do not see why anyone would want this, Amber looks elegant. One advantage for the edge-pad keyboard / number and large touch pad to fill the space well, and fills the screen top cover at least part of additional space. Proportionally, it seems correct. A top bar speakers to complement a second set of speakers in September at the keyboard cover is strong and is willing to carry out better sound. It's a big change from the old HP Pavilion dv6, and a look that is very close to the HP Envy high end.
However, the clean lines of this laptop is to hide its volume. And yes, the volume is considerable. At about 1.3 cm thick and 5.7 pounds, this machine is almost slim. It looks like a desktop device. Although one could fit in the bag, we could not do as they wish. However, given its mass, at least in dv6t lines are clean, that fits in your lap and you look out the hard way.
On the keyboard that has highlighted the island's key type, each key is square and well separated from the others. Keypad presses up against it, create a seamless flow between the two, but not hitting the arrow keys on the bottom, as seen in some laptops. Scroll keys are small, however: up and down the track is compressed into a single button. While the keyboard responded well, he showed a tremendous amount of chassis flex an otherwise solid construction. Nor is backlit, which is strange considering the size of the notebook. Controls assigned to the function keys worked without pressing the Fn button, which is common in laptops for many years, but a surprising number still ignore function keys inverted. Except for a small power button on the top left (maybe a bit too small), there is a small black button that launches the Web browser of your choice.
The large multitouch touchpad Synaptics is larger than many, but unlike the new HP pads, return to the use of discreet buttons below, instead of "click-through areas." HP says it did not reduce the usable area of the touchscreen - in fact, it seems that the buttons below to be a clear violation of the fingers of space. The matt surface collects grease and fingerprints, but usually provides a smooth response. A border with LED backlighting adds a sense of definition in dark rooms and a sober little.
Throughout the entire line dv6t, HP adds a fingerprint reader, marketed as SimplePass, I think the idea is brilliant. You, too, if you use the HP software customizable for the reader, all 10 fingers can be configured not only to start the session, but to launch applications, Web sites, and even stored passwords for websites. For many users looking to maintain their Gmail accounts separately is a very clever solution. We love to see the idea of fluidity in other notebooks, too, or even tablets and phones. This is a much easier way to remember passwords.
The 15.6-inch 1366 x 768 pixel LED backlit display is bright and slightly push the rest of the plastic lid. Videos and applications was sharp and clear, but lower resolution than the size of the screen you could see some videos look more pixelated. This happens when viewing HD content with higher resolution, lower resolution screen closely. Upgrading to a 1080 is only $ 150, and if you care about the extra screen real space and full HD video, it's worth the investment. If you are with your display, however, is definitely a show for a solid midrange. The viewing angles to break the extreme tilt of the screen, but otherwise brilliant.
As for audio in question, the dv6t Pavilion has become a little review. The much talked about (especially HP) beat sound technology integrated in HP Envy laptops a few years ago has spread throughout much of the HP laptop line. Their inclusion in the amounts dv6t for circuits and software (for amplification and equalization of sound), not the speaker hardware. The speakers are not bad, a noisy bar on the keyboard comes with two stereo speakers located on the laptop forward and down the keyboard. There are four speakers, but not the subwoofer. We pumped movies, music, music videos and some Beastie Boys, and has an output that was much better than average. However, there was what could be called spectacular. Laptops, Dell XPS and Toshiba 15 Harman Kardon sound was low even better and treble clarity to our ears.
With headphones, the dv6t definitely looked great, but it is difficult to determine how much of that is attributable to death. Therefore, we compared the Beastie Boys "Fight for Your Right" video from their 2011 Hot Sauce Pt 2 album Committee on the HP Pavilion dv6t and our Lenovo ThinkPad, with the same headphones (Etymotic HF2) and the maximum crank. Dv6t absolute best performance: the volume was high, low, more punch, and "glam" factor was more present. If you hear music in the affairs of his laptop, then yes, hitting is a victory over the average of the competition.
HD 720p offers a series of Webcam video chat features, a trend that is spreading all laptops. Dell Inspiron line entered into a similar upgrade this year, too.
