HP Pavilion DV6 1354US Right now

HP Pavilion DV6-1354US 15.6-Inch Black Laptop – Up To 4 Hours Of Battery Life (Windows 7 Home Premium)

I got the DV6-1354US because I wanted a decent graphic gard to play game. We have been using it for a few days. Overall I am very satisfied. I did not give it a 5 star because I am concerned that it got quit hot when playing games.

The setup was straight forward. The only problem I had was with setting up the wireless connection. I initially set it up with a lined connection. Setting up the wireless connection was easy, but it won’t allow me to access the internet (“unidentified network, no access to internet”). I fixed it by rebooting.

Pros:
1. Amazon price is fantastic! I have been searching for a good laptop for weeks. HP Pavilion DV6 1354US is the best one!
2. A decent video card. My son played WIC with it. He was overjoyed to see the frame rate jumps to 30, 40, 50 and more!
3. It has more functions that I expected, given the price. I wasn’t expecting a card reader and web cam. After I got the laptop, I got a little greedy: would be nice to have a TV tuner, too, for the same price!
4. Abundant capacity.

Cons:
1. The video card can get VERY hot when playing WIC game. This is expected since it is a graphics intensive game. But I am a little worried, especially long term. I am thinking about getting a cooling pad. The temperature problem happens only when playing intense games. The temperature went back to normal for normal use. I have been trying to find info on how the graphics card is configured without much luck. So all I can do now it to have faith in HP that they did this correctly and it fires up the video card only when needed.

HP Pavilion DV2910US 14.1-inch Laptop (1.83 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T5550 Processor, 3 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive, DVD Drive, Vista Premium) Black


I have this laptop and I must say for an hp it has been relatively problem free. In the 3 years working retail computer repair I have seen many hp’s come into our store with bizarre problems. This laptop has only had 2 in the 5 months I have been using it. First is the issue that you will see all over google known as the “fan problem” or “fan pulse”. The laptop, seemingly for no reason, will start to pulse the cooling fan from high to low for an extended period of time. This happens at random even when the laptop is sitting with no open programs and not being used. HP has issued bios updates but the only thing that this seems to do is turn the fan on constantly, it does not stop the pulsing. The second problem, which has seemed to stop since I am no longer using an hp ac adapter, was a very jumpy non-sensitive mouse. While using the hp ac adapter the mouse would become very jumpy, non-responsive, and lose almost all sensitivity. I have switched to a kensington universal charger and have not had the problem since. Just as a little fyi, the hp ac adapter developed a crack from the intense amount of heat it would generate and partially melted itself, that is why I have stopped using that charger. I have seen my fair share of hp ac adapters melt the wires or melt off inside the laptop.
