    Hey just got the HP dv7 3065dx and I've been looking around to find out more about it. I know general inormation about it and it seems like a good computer. If anyone has any opinions or info on it that I should know about like heating issues, battery life, memory issues, or capabilities vs other laptops in its range i'd appreciate it. Pleasee xcuse my lack of knowledge :rolleyes: thanks in advance

    We don't have an official review of the HP Pavilion dv7 but based on my experience with it, it's a solid computer and would be my choice for a 17" at the moment. Congrats on the purchase.

    To see what other users are saying about the notebook, check out the owner's lounge thread here:

    Might be a good idea to skip ahead to the later pages for more recent discussion. That thread is for the Intel-based dv7 but . . . the AMD version you have is basically the same laptop.

    Thanks Jeffries...

    Vinaypro- if you put the speakers up to loud they get ty.. but you can still put them up a decent amount wih good sound quality.. wen maxed out it get crackly unfortunately :( ... no heating problems so far I've only had it about a week though.. I'm not sure when the laptop came out but the specs are good and its a great looking computer...it can't be more then a year old i'm guessing if that.

    vinaypro: HP Pavilion dv7-3065dx at Best Buy:
    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+Pa...ssor/9556296.p?skuId=9556296&id=1218123847586
    If this configuration had gigabit Ethernet and 802.11n I'd buy it. Unfortunately you have to step up to the dedicated memory GPU configurations to get GigE and the dv7-3065dx is the only AMD dv7 that Best Buy sells. Walmart has the nicest AMD dv7 configuration in the US:

    But I can't abuse my Best Buy card financing there and it's $200 more. Still, tempting.
