HP Pavilion DV6-1280US 16-Inch Entertainment Laptop Reviews
| 48 of 49 people found the following review helpful  Excellent notebook, By This review is from: HP Pavilion DV6-1280US 16-Inch Entertainment Laptop (Personal Computers) My wife and I purchased this laptop for her mother and I have been very impressed with the features and build quality. It is well constructed with a metallic toned black plastic exterior. Take a good look at the shell art since it is something that may not appeal to everyone but my mother-in-law definitely appreciated having something a little more individual than the usual dull grey exterior. Despite the glossy exterior we haven't noticed much in the way of finger prints or any scratches despite the helping hands of our kids who love to "help" grandma with her computer.The specs for this model are set well above what the average home owner needs today which (in my mind) future proofs it nicely.

I've been playing EQ2 online and playing music CDs both at the same time with no problems. This machine will run high end games. The only things I don't like about it is the 5400rpm HD which is not really that big of a deal and especially all of the preloaded software offers and trials that took me two days to identify and remove. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful  Waste of money !!! ..., This review is from: HP Pavilion DV6-1280US 16-Inch Entertainment Laptop (Personal Computers) I bought this laptop a few months back ...I have had nothing but problems with it !!! With in the first month the heat sink stopped working, had to send it back to Hp to get it fixed. That took almost 8-10 days.. Then the laptop started crashing every time i would run movies or videos. I thought it was a problem with the operating system, but technicians at Microsoft told me that the error number suggested that it was a hardware problem(mostly with the processor or motherboard) So I had to send it back again to Hp. I took them 2 weeks to figure out what the problem was even after i specifically told them what was happening, because the call center person who i spoke to entered the data wrong(even after i repeated it twice) Now since last week i m again having problems with the laptop. Its heating up like crazy & shutting down. I plan to send it back & ask Hp for my money back, I... Read more |
