5.0 out of 5 stars A Technicians Review! 3 Mar 2012
By PaulH
Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm a computer technician - so I work on alot of customer computers and laptops. One thing I find is that most customer computers are sluggish because they buy cheap not understanding or caring about the spec of their computers. I ALWAYS advise people to spend as much as they can afford because laptops are not upgradeable apart from RAM (sometimes). The cheap slow laptops come slow out of the box - very frustrating. The end result is customers call me to speed up their computers all the time so I know a thing or too about sluggish computers / laptops.

I needed a replacement laptop as my 8 year old HP laptop has been handed down to my children. I've always liked HP. I wanted something portable so 17" laptop was too big. I also wanted a laptop as high end as I could afford because laptops are not upgradeable and i don't like sluggish computers. I would have liked an Apple Mac Book Pro but I wasn't going to spend £1500-£2000 on a laptop. I didn't have an open cheque book so price was important. I came very close to buying the new ASUS Red A53E-SX1339S 15.6" Laptop - from PC World for £599. Then I saw a better spec HP Pavilion dv6-6c12sa at Staples for £650 and bought that although I really wanted a laptop with an i7 CPU rather than AMD. CPU's are very important! I came home and searched the internet to find a better DV6 model - HP Pavilion dv6-6c56ea for same price on Amazon so I bought that one and returned the other DV6 laptop to Staples unopened. So here I am typing away on my new HP i7 laptop.

So far I'm very happy with it. Keyboard is easy to use. Nice screen. It's super fast for a laptop and with further tweaks here and there and replace the bloated Norton Internet Security with MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials) - this laptop probably rivals Apple for every day performace. This laptop is a great buy for the spec vs price. As a technician in the industry, I highly recommend this laptop! If you don't like slow buy better to start with is my advise and this laptop is highly recommended.

14/4/12 Update
Since owning this laptop for a few weeks as my backup laptop I've had chance to get to know it better. Battery life does not last anywhere near 6 hours when set to high performance. Unless you set to high performance it can feel a bit sluggish, power is everything! Love the cool metal chasis. Lighter and less bulky than my last ZV6179ea HP Pavilion laptop! When converting my owned DVD's for my iPad it really comes into its own for speed beating my Quad Core PC for performance. Remember, the slower your computer the more you have to wait for everything!! USB 3.0 sockets work fine!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast! 9 Mar 2012
I went from a small netbook to this and I'm living life twice as fast. It starts up in approx 10secs and shuts down in 5. The simplepass feature makes it easy to access all your most used websites(a different finger for each one). It is the sturdiest laptop I've ever held and yet it looks slick. I watch movies every night on it and never need headphones because the sound is just like a television's. I had higher hopes for the sound seeing as it has Beats speakers but as laptops go the sound is better than average. Just couldn't use it for a party. Surprisingly cool underneath. I could have it on from morning til night and it stays the same temperature. Even when being charged. Only flaw so far is that it's a tad on the heavy side. Overall though, a very pleasant computer to use. It's making my life a breeze, so yup, I would recommend it!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not To Spec? 3 Mar 2012
By Mog0_3
If you buy one of these check to see if you have the specified 2 x USB3 ports. Mine had 4 USB2s and no USB3s, HP confirmed it was incorrectly built. Otherwise great machine.
