HP Pavilion dv6z series
The HP Pavilion dv6 is powered by an AMD Phenom II P920 Quad-Core Processor, 3GB of Memory a 500 GB HDD and a ATI HD 5650 Graphics card that delivers beautiful graphics to the 15.6” widescreen display . This notebook has a 2.1 GHz AMD dual core processor and the operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium, 32 bit. The screen offers you high definition and is sixteen inches in diagonal length. The memory of HP Pavilion dv6z series is 3GB DDR2 and can be configured to hold 8GB. This notebook has a Lightscribe SuperMulti 8X DVD-R-RW with double layer support optical drive It has Bluetooth wireless communication and runs on a 6 cell Li-Ion battery. All of this comes packaged in a 14.9 by 10.2 inch size and is less than 2 inches in height. The HP Pavilion dv6z series only weighs a bit over six pounds; 6.36 to be exact. When purchased direct, you will have a one year warranty.
Design is just as important as power to the majority of notebook users. The HP Pavilion dv6z series has a very modern looking appearance. The display covers exhibits the Espresso Black imprint that many have come to love and is quite durable as it does not scratch easily. The actually body of the notebook is very smooth and the edges are round, a nice touch for anyone who has nicked themselves with a sharp notebook corner before. The construction of the HP Pavilion dv6z series makes it very easy to transport. A unique design allows a user to open the HP Pavilion dv6z series with just one hand, always a plus. If you have the dv6z, you will want to be aware that fingerprints show up fairly easily on the screen, however can easily be swiped away with a screen cloth.There are palm rests that allow you to keep working with good support under your hands and this also cuts down on the pressure that would otherwise be put onto the notebook itself; therefore cutting down on wear and tear.
The screen also sports a latchless design, making it easy to open the notebook with one hand. Pressing firmly onto the back of the screen cover will produce some ripples on the screen ... but you must apply significant pressure to cause this. Overall, the design is very attractive, but the glossy plastics are very prone to collecting fingerprints.Build quality is above average with solid plastic used throughout the notebook, which helps reduce flex and protect components. The palmrests have good support and only flex under strong pressure from your hands. Under normal activity it feels rock solid. The keyboard is the same, with just a little flex around the "F" key when heavy pressure is applied.
As mentioned above, our dv6z features the "Espresso Black" Imprint Finish which looks like a glossy black plastic with a silver bubble pattern on the lid and left palmrest. The Imprint Finish on the dv6z isn't as subtle as the pattern on the HP Pavilion dv2. I suspect many average consumers will find the bubble pattern on the lid a little too "splashy" for a workplace environment, but it still looks very attractive and I'm sure it will be popular among younger shoppers.
The bottom of the dv6z is pretty simple with several heat vents located in strategic positions to help keep the laptop cool. The two access panels on the bottom of the notebook make it easy to upgrade RAM, replace the hard disk drive, or access the wireless card. This arrangement makes it simple for the novice user to make upgrades, but more serious users will have to remove the entire base of the chassis in order to access the rest of the motherboard.
Port selection on the dv6z is better than average, and there seems to be a good balance of ports on the left and right sides of the notebook. Then right side includes the optical drive, two USB ports, spaces for the optional TV tuner and modem, as well as a security lock slot and the power jack. The left side of the notebook contains the VGA port, docking station connector, Ethernet, HDMI, eSATA/USB combo port, USB port, FireWire, ExpressCard, and media card reader. The remaining ports include audio jacks for headphones and a microphone on the front of the notebook next to the IR receiver for the remote control.
The dv6z has a glossy, modern design that is essentially a larger version of the dv4 and dv5 series notebooks. The display cover has the durable plastic "Espresso Black" Imprint finish which holds up quite well to minor abrasion without scratching. The body of the notebook is smooth with rounded edges, making it extremely comfortable in your hand while carrying it around.
