Taken from slickdeals, i didnt see it here so i thought id post!

 

It's a good deal...but the screen resolution ~ if you can deal with 1366x768 ~to me, that is kind of low resolution for a 15.6!! But that's just my opinion!

Cin...

 

Yeah i guess, i just felt like posting it im not actually taking it, i wish but im in Canada and i need to find someone on these forums who live near a Quebec/Canada border so he can buy something for me and ill drive to get it

but for those that live in the US, i hope your buying all of those sick deals/prices i see here and on ebay, i wish!

 

Hey, its a nice deal + for the effort!!
You do need to find someone to get in on these deals for you!

Cin...

 

wow, that is a cool price for what you're getting.

 

Wow, good price for what you're getting. Wonder how the dv6t chassis will handle heat, and what battery life this machine can get.

 

This is what I was thinking as well. If it had a higher res i might look into it more.

 

yea I'm used to 1650 x 1050

 

Agreed, and I'm a broken record at this point but I am a strong advocate of higher resolutions. In my experience it allows for higher productivity. With only 768 pixels of vertical space, you can barely see half a page of a Word document, not to mention all the scrolling necessary on web pages and the like.

The dv6t is a nice machine and if they offered a higher-res display I would consider upgrading. I like having a built-in numpad.

 

Can't you just choose the higher screen res?

 

There's only one screen option.

 

Well crud, I was just about to order it as soon as I got home, and now the coupon isn't working anymore... I guess I won't get a notebook after all. Do you think that I could call the sales number and get them to give me the $200 off? Also, when do you think the next time they'll have a $200 or more off coupon?

[Edit: Called them and Carmen on the sales team helped me out and got me the discount. HP Pavilion dv6t Quad Edition is on the way!]

 

Nice! That should be a real powerful machine. Enjoy.

 

hi,
i had ordered dv6 Quad Core laptop with the configuration as below

intel core i-720 QM Processor
320 GB hard disk
4 GB Ram
1GB dedicated graphics memory
6 cell battery
Win 7 Home Premium Pre installed

I have heard that its FingerPrint Reader doesn't work + its battery last for just 1.5 Hours.. is this true? (to those who have used this since its you have it)

please advice... i need your help asap

thanks

 

Regarding fingerprint reader: hardware-wise, fingerprint readers are all similar, so I doubt there are any problems there. I do not know about driver support, with Windows 7 the drivers may be immature, so it's hard to say. Post in the HP subforum to get better responses.

Regarding battery life: with a discrete Nvidia GeForce GT 230M (a fairly power hungry card, at least compared to integrated graphics) and an i7 processor, you should be expecting to sacrifice battery life. On a 6-cell battery, I would not be surprised to get 1.5 hours of real constant semi-intensive usage out of it. You could probably stretch it to 2-3 hours without too much issue, I would think.

 

thanks for your input...
