    Hi,

    I am looking to purchase hp dv6-6017tx laptop in a day or two hence I require urgent help.
    I am located in India , hp dv6 quad edition which is in US is known as dv6 6017tx here in India i think.

    1)Does this laptop overheat alot , this problem is faced by alot of dv6 users.
    2)Is the battery backup / life good.
    3)Intel sandybridge chipsets had flaws,is it been rectified in this notebook.
    4)Should I go for this or xps 15?
    5)Is it rev. B2 which is with flawed chipset or its rev. B3?

    My usage -
    Gaming,Movies,Surfing,Chatting.My laptop is on 15-16hrs a day.
    Hence my usage is heavy.

    Urgent help needed.

    All YOUR concerns, are non-issues. On the other hand, I somewhat question the 6000 roadworthiness (durability). If you are going to move it around alot, it has no track record. If you are going to use it as a desktop replacement, you should be fine. In general, I think Dells are built with a little more durabilty ...
