HP Pavilion dv6-6153cl (Costco $ 999.99 list) offers a nice blend of power and style to your desktop replacement laptop. The Sandy Bridge Core i7 and memory generously to help achieve a robust and productive multimedia performance, and switchable 3D graphics engine provides enough power to satisfy all but the most demanding players. Blu-ray would be nice, because it is another hour or two of battery life, but you do not get big, fast hard drive, Intel Wireless Monitor 2.0 (Widi 2.0) technology, and a two-year warranty.

The bridge of the keyboard sports the same finish as smooth as the CAP and has a comfortable full size of the island-style keyboard with a dedicated number pad on the right. The mouse buttons dual multi-touch touchpad and sit inside a border with backlight and a pleasure to use and provides a smooth cursor control and mouse clicks reactive. There is a fingerprint reader on the bottom right of the bridge, and a shortcut key switch and the Web browser at the top left. Beats is a portable audio with four speakers (two speakers in a bar below the screen and two bottom) and software to provide its much better than you normally get from a laptop, but a subwoofer, like a nest in the dv7-6123cl (list $ 999.99, 3 stars), would give some much needed coffee. The 15th
6-inch screen has a resolution of 1366 x 768 and does a good job of displaying detailed 720p video, but if you want high definition (1080p), you have to splurge for a more expensive model, like the Dell XPS 15z ($ Direct 1534, 4 stars), which has a 1920-by-1, 080 screen resolution.

Performance
Intel-based update 2GHz Core i7 2630QM and 8 GB of DDR3 RAM, dv6-6153cl turned in some impressive scores on our tests. Its PCMark 2344 score of 7 was only 35 points behind dv7-6163us ($ 899.98 list, 3.5 stars), which uses the same processor. The fight dv6-Core i5-powered HP 6153cl-6123cl dv6 with more than 100 points, but could not touch Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (Thunderbolt) the ($ 2,199 direct, 4 stars), who scored 8315 runs on Windows 7 Mode Boot Camp. In our Cinebench test R11.5 dv6 6153cl-score of 4.99 topped the Dell XPS 15z (3.03), HP dv6-6163us (4.94) and QX411 Samsung-W01 (2.56) but not the MacBook Pro ( 5.07).
The dv6-6153cl showed some prowess and multimedia. It completed our Photoshop CS5 test in 3 minutes 52 seconds, which is identical to the result of dv6-6163us and a couple of seconds faster than the MacBook Pro (03:58) 15z Dell XPS was the fastest with a score of 3:40. Time dv6-6153cl handbrake was dead 1:36, even with the HP dv6-6163us and 23 seconds faster than what we saw on the Samsung QX411-W01 (1:59).
Manual switchable graphics in the dv6-6153cl can help save energy when using the GPU is not justified. The Intel integrated graphics HD 3000 is used for everyday no discrete graphics-intensive tasks and Radeon HD 6770M is used for most. Our DirectX 10 (DX10) Crysis GPU test AMD gave us 49.9 frames per second (fps), which is more than enough for games without problems. 0.6 The result of 19 fps in our DX9 Lost Planet 2 test was not as impressive when compared with those of the Samsung QX411-W01 (26fps) and XPS 15Z (37fps). But you should enjoy the game relatively easy on this laptop, as long as is marked by the setting and stick to the older, less demanding titles.
What is the battery, battery 55Wh dv6-6153cl lasted 5 hours 34 minutes our MobileMark 2007 tests. Pales in comparison dv7-6123cl time of 9 hours and 14 minutes for about an hour shorter than the 15z 6:22 XPS. Only the MacBook Pro had a battery life (4:40).
HP Pavilion 6153cl-dv6 offers a nice balance of components, style and characteristics of sub-$ 1,000 desktop, but it lacks some essential elements, which would put it on, such as WiMAX and Bluetooth wireless technology, a Blu-ray and high-resolution display. If you need a 1080p, and a small battery, processor power and graphics performance, consider the Dell XPS 15z instead.
EBay also comes with adware and Snapfish, dozens of games, and a trial version of Norton Internet Security in other words, bloatware. On the positive side, this model is unique and as such, Costco has a two year warranty instead of guaranteeing the kind of one year from the manufacturer. Costco members can also benefit from the installation of Costco concierge and helpdesk service and generous return policy of 90 days.
