HP Pavilion Dv6-6123cl Review

HP Pavilion dv6-6123cl laptop is not your standard budget. No, this desktop replacement 15.6 inches includes some surprises for its price of $ 599.99 (list at Costco). To begin with, by fleeing the ordinary plastic, brushed aluminum luxury. And instead of two thin, weak stereo speakers, boasts four speakers powered by Beats Audio. In addition, the battery life and warranty lasts longer than expected. Because it is sold at Costco, the notebook comes backed with a two-year warranty. And with AMD Fusion APU efficiency, it delivers an excellent range of a standard six-cell battery. Performance of applications will be sufficient for most budget buyers, while the integrated AMD Radeon graphics cards are much better than current Intel chip and offer some ability to play.

Although the application performance comparable to Intel-based models of the paths, the HP Pavilion dv6-6123cl is still an interesting combination of elegant design, powerful sound, long battery life, and a two-year warranty.

Design

Pavilion dv6-6123cl No plan to reveal his state budget. Silver brushed aluminum adorns the keyboard when the lid and keyboard deck is black, as the frame of the screen and the plastic base. It is not just a budget model features brushed aluminum and the Lenovo IdeaPad V570-1066A9U ($ 629.99, 4 stars) and Asus U56E-BBL5 ($ 649.99, 4 stars) also has an aluminum case, even if NV55S05u the gateway (579, $ 99, 4 stars), use the plastic from the beginning. Pavilion dv6-6123cl looks and feels much more expensive than the model it is. If it looks good and feels firm. It weighs 5.6 pounds, which is an average of 15.6-inch model. Plastic does not shave any weight off the NV55S05u Gateway, which also weighs 5.6 pounds.

The keyboard has chiclet-style keys, and despite the presence of a dedicated keyboard, the keys feeling of spaciousness and generous space. There are no special buttons to control media playback / pause, fast forward, rewind, and volume functions are located in the row of F keys Assigned invested, however, so you do not have to hold the function button to pause a song, for example, or mute the volume.

Below is a great touchpad keyboard responds with two dedicated mouse buttons. Unlike the soft feel of the keyboard, the two mouse buttons feel cheap and thin, creating a strong enough when pressed. The touchpad supports multi-touch gestures like two finger scrolling and pinch zoom. Often, multi-touch gestures can be nervous, but we realized that not the case here, scroll with two fingers, for example, was smooth and precise.

The 15.6-inch screen has a resolution of 1366 x 768, standard size. The display has LED backlight and produces a bright image and clear. The screen has a glossy surface, but it is far from being the author of the most egregious in terms of producing glare and annoying reflections. The two hinges holding the screen is thin, but rigid and unable to keep up the big screen. HD webcam sits above the screen that can record video at resolutions up to 1280 x 800.

Features

Perhaps more than its stylish aluminum housing, the feature that allows the Pavilion dv6-6123cl detached from the pack is the inclusion of budget Beats Audio. It dramatically improves the sound, if you listen to the speakers of the laptop or a headset. The laptop does not have the usual pair of speakers, but four speakers. Two are behind the speaker bar leaning over the keyboard, and two are on the front edge of the laptop. The bass response of speakers can feel and hear, and the sound reaches an impressive height, while maintaining clarity.

Also on the left side is HDMI and VGA ports, one Gigabit Ethernet port, a microphone jack and two headphone jacks. A writer tray loading DVD is on the right side with the electrical connection. At the forefront of a live multi-format memory card reader (SD and MMC). And a surprise for a laptop designed for use in the budget at home, the Pavilion dv6-6123cl has a fingerprint reader. Fortunately, it is not located between the two mouse buttons, but on the side, right side of the wrist rest below the keypad.

Consists of wireless 802.11n Wi-Fi and Intel Wireless Display (Widi), which allows streaming HDTV wirelessly laptop screen. (TV needs an adapter Netgear Push2TV, to receive the signal, it should be noted.) Unfortunately, Bluetooth is not cut, but is rarely involved in the budget of the laptop.

500GB hard drive does not offer the ability to get from the rest; U56E-BBL5 Asus, Gateway and Lenovo IdeaPad NV55S05u 1066A9U-V570, each serving 640 to run. HP does an admirable job, but keep bloatware Pavilion dv6-6123cl drive. In addition to a handful of free games, and a link to Laptop encourage you to "Discover the HP webOS," the characteristics of software that provides utility.
