A bright glossy display and the addition of Beats Audio make for a great entertainment experience. Read more

    The 15.6-inch HP Pavilion dv6t Select Edition laptop (*Est. $700 and up) won't break the bank and provides enough performance horsepower that it can serve as a suitable desktop replacement, experts say. It's a member of HP's dv6 and dv6t family of laptops, which are both diverse and well received. Read more

    I bought this laptop in April 2011 and liked its color, speed, and portability for the first five months I owned it. One morning in September I opened it up to find a spreading black spiderweb across the cracked screen. Googling something to the effect of HP laptop cracked screen; I was dismayed to read dozens if not hundreds of similar stories. Read more

    Whew, after a long day of transferring files, re-installing programs & customizing my set up, I now love my new HP Pavilion dv6! The screen is beautiful, clear & the colors just "pop". The keypad & mouse are easy to use, the audio is far superior (w/o any external sources) & I can navigate so easily between applications. I disliked the SimplePass 2012 so much, however, I actually uninstalled the program : ( ! But, that is strictly a personal preference for me. Read more
