I picked this laptop mainly because Amazon did such a wonderful job posting it on their site. It was so detailed and informative, even more so than HP's website. I've been very happy with all of the ports that this computer has. from Amazon.com seemed to be such an obvious manufacturer defect. HP charges $430 for repair from Amazon.com Laptop was received with a broken ethernet port. HP would not service my laptop due to "customer related damage" which it was obviously not. There is a reason they are dead last in all customer service polls. from Amazon.com they want for the 15" screen and the one I want it the 17" screen for $2,700. that before you add stuff like bigger hard drive more ram So I check out PC to see what they have to offer glad I did look at all of them. Dell, Hp, sony, toshiba, etc, for me I pick the right one. very please with the hp dv6 1050us from Amazon.com This is a great laptop for the money. I bought it knowing it was larger, not the fastest computer available and that Vista would be different to opperate but to my surprise none of these things have mattered. I use it primarily at home...used it on a plane ride and it was fine carrying in a backpack. The keyboard is nice to type on; easy strokes and not very much noise when you're a fast typer. from Amazon.com Due to the impressive features: 4gb hd, good core 2 duo,etc, I was expecting a very fast response from the laptop. However, I have to admit that sometimes, especially when running 2 apps (IE and itunes for example) at the same time,it gets a little slow. Also the sound, is kind of weak comparing to another DELL older laptop that we use for the family. I am kind of certain that this laptop falls into the category of those units that come preloaded with all the junk that the manufacturer thinks you will need. from Amazon.com Clearly HP is not the same company that they were 10 years ago and this product proves it. It looks nice and has nice features but I have had TWO quit dead in 10 days. from Amazon.com I've bricked my brand new HP DV6 1030 US only one week after I bought it (dead won't power on). The HP Update tool recommended that I upgrade the BIOS. from Amazon.com It was up and working right out of the box. There are more bells and whistles on this machine and is comparable to my desktop. HP has a fine product here. from Amazon.com MY daughter wanted a nice computer but couldn't afford a Mac with everything she wanted on the computer this is a wonderful laptop she loves it and this is the best 700.00 she has spent and comes with built in web cam and lots of memory just wonderful for her she loves this and is built well it is not cheap some say heavy, we say well built you will like this one if you get it. The HP Pavilion DV6-1030US 16.0 inch laptop is a winner!!!!! from Amazon.com

Description

Expanding on the sophisticated elegance of the current line, the dv series is defined by fluid, modern lines and metalized finishes with surprising innovations inside and out. High-gloss HP Imprint finish in onyx and chrome now encases all surfaces visible during normal use for greater durability. The dv6 series Mesh Imprint features a grid-like pattern for subtle contrast to the liquid appearance of the metallic finish.
