    I don't think benchmarks are the final say in performance, we should wait for some more diverse benchmarks and performance opinions before jumping to conclusions.

    The laptop itself looks alright..

    What I mean is that they don't even have numbers for most of the benchmarks yet, so how did they obtain that score? We need more benchmarks and reviews before we can say its worse than the poorest i3.

    Passmark has always seemed more reliable to me than Notebookcheck and they rank the N930 pretty high, high enough for me at least

    lol Amazon shows this dv6 as having function keys on the left of the keyboard. Is this the new Envy 15? :rollseyes:

    Doesn't look like the Envy keyboard, which is chiclet.

    i just wonder how much technical bugs have this model-we all know that for example dv5 can burn itself lol so i bet that dv6 won't be perfect too...
