HP Pavilion dv6-3160us Reviews
Great Laptop
By MarkThe specs on this laptop are really good. 4 Core AMD Processor will keep things moving at a pretty fast pace, although it ranks below Intel I7s, it still performs very well. Also a large hard drive and the light up keyboard is especially nice when working on things at night. However the best part about the laptop is the video card. The ATI Mobility Radeon(tm) HD 5650 was really the selling point for me. Standard video cards that come with lower end laptops are often the bare minimums and all too often hold the performance of a laptop back. Such is not the case with this laptop. The video card is phenomenal for the price of the laptop. Overall great laptop performance wise. It looks really sweet too. However there is one drawback with HPs and its the preloaded software. I dont know if other companys do it, but this one came loaded with stuff and really hinders the performance. I have a Windows 7 Ult disc purchased previously so I installed my own version after I played with the preloaded OS and software for a bit. Most of the drivers are on the HP website so there really wasnt any trouble finding them(if you choose to do this, make a recovery disc first!). But i know someone else said that if you press F11 on the start up and do the recovery option you can choose to reinstall windows with a minimal installation which will get rid of the preloaded software but still install all the drivers. Highly recommend though if your looking for an above average laptop with an excellent video card.
So far… An amazing laptop

So far its been a great laptop. it has too many HP programs that i dont know if the are actually helpful but besides that… great keyboard very smooth and silent… the monitor its great and the fongerprint reader works fine… it runs a little bit hot in the bottom left side i think where the processor is, but only when the ventilation is reduced. i have a special table for laptops with ventilation in that area and i work in multiple projects at a time and the computer remains cold… (sorry if my english wasnt very good, im from venezuela)… i will make another review in 1 month to see if something change… i hope not… buy this laptop if you are looking for one of the best laptops for this price…
