HP Pavilion dv6-3020us 15.6-Inch Laptop Review

I have been using this laptop for one month and I am absolutely amazed. It is sleek and stylish and much lighter than I expected of a 15". What can I tell you? The keyboard is nice and spacious for typing. Before I got it I was a little concerned about the function of the touch pad but this baby is second to none, it is very accurate and has tons of functions...2 finger scroll, 3 finger scroll the list goes on.

I use this laptop extensively and I have had no problem with heat. Be careful not to block the vents at the side, I guess if it's blocked it would become hot.

Cons (if any)
1. The battery runs for approximately 2 1/2 hours on hp recommended power setting and this is while downloading, playing videos, games, browsing and organizing photos and files.
2. The Keyboard, while awesome, is not back lit. This would have been a nice addition for me.
3. The viewing angle is not great but then again it's not like I am laying down to use it.

Pros (there are many)
1. WiFi easily connects
2. Bluetooth - superb, picked up and paired my devices immediately.
3. Speed - the laptop boots up super fast, there is the option to start with the hp quick start or windows 7.
4. Finger print reader - very accurate and convenient, it works with I.E and Firefox.
5. Webcam - I really could not ask for more and the software has quite a bit of editing options.
6. The sound on this is much better than I expected. I have a dell latitude and my kids are not able to watch movies on it without the use of an headset. This requires no headset unless you need privacy.
7. DVD drive - While I've only used it twice to burn a set of recovery disk and another project, the drive it very quiet and fast. While I'm not a fan of Light scribe, I tried it and it works great.
8. I love HP Media Smart
9. Windows 7 - I am impressed, it really makes life easier.

I was worried buying a laptop with an AMD processor but it's fast and cool, no overheating here.

Ratings on the Windows Experience Index (scale of 1.0 to 7.9) is 4.5, this is based on the lowest score.

Processor - 6.3
Memory (Ram) - 5.9
Graphics - 4.5
Gaming Graphics - 5.4
Primary Hard Disk - 5.8

I researched long and hard to find the perfect laptop for my needs and a good price... this did it for me. No regrets.
I have recommended this to my friends and I recommend it to you....you won't regret it...I don't work for HP or Amazon.
