The HP Pavilion dv6-6091nr is the new version of the dv6 multimedia notebook. The specification is pretty high; with an Intel i7 2.0GHz processor, giving quad core processing and an impressive 6GB of DDR3 RAM for all those memory hungry applications. The graphics power comes from an ATI Mobility Radeon card named HD6570, this card come with 1024MB GDDR5 memory. It’s good to see a 1TB hard drive however it’s a 5400rpm model, the guys at HP should have installed a faster hard drive.
The LED display looks great; the only quibble would be the resolution at 1366×768, this seems a bit strange as it’s supposed to be a ‘multimedia model’ most competitor models have 1920×1080. The HP Pavilion dv6 6091nr does have HDMI output; so you can connect it up to an HD TV and play full HD content.
The casing of the Pavilion dv6 is very similar to its predecessor apart from the colour which is now darker.
Specifications
Pros
There is a full number pad which you don’t often see on smaller laptops. Having USB 3.0 Is great for all the new devices coming out. Slick and clean appearance, looks cool. Great price point considering it’s a 17 Sandy Bridge multimedia laptop.
Cons
The Hard Drive at 5400rpm doesn’t match up to the power of the other components; maybe a weak point.
The screen resolution is only a max of 1366×768, so its 720p rather than 1920×1080 – 1080p which is a shame as the video card has plenty of power. The battery is 6-cell Lithium, not sure if the capacity is great enough for this high spec laptop.
