Very low power consumption 12W total
By Peter Sobczak
I purchased this laptop for my work where temporarily big processing power is needed for simulations 1-10 seconds long. I also record sound and measure microphones, speakers and various audio gadgets. Thus I need QUIET laptop, with rather steady audible noise level during medium intensity tasks. The worst laptop I had in the past used to be reasonable quiet for a while, then suddenly it would starts producing loud audible noise.My previous laptops generally seemed to generate too much heat and produced too much associated audible noise. So I put newly purchased laptop to testing for power consumption and audible noise. Results were so good that I put two additional computers to testing. I attach here a short summary - comparison for three computers working with similar display brightness. Monitor power 40W is included in Desktop numbers. I tested power consumption with "Kill a watt" meter available on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/P3-International-P4400-Electricity-Monitor/dp/B00009MDBUI plan to check later electrosmog a few mm above keyboard, with Magnetic Field, Electric Field meters. With Keyboard Backlit = ON and OFF. So far so good, first impressions is very good for laptop functioning, performance, laptop fits me perfectly. Meter does not show any power consumed when Laptop = OFF, with AC/DC Power Adapter attached.Power Consumption for this laptop is really low, I am happy with it. Audible Noise could be improved, but it is acceptable to me.AC Adapters for this laptop are rated 120W and 90W, indicating much greater power consumption under certain extreme conditions.A. Laptop HP Pavilion dv6t-7000, Windows 7. Purchased 2012.B. Laptop HP Pavilion dv2000, Windows XP Home. Purchased 2006.C. Desktop HP Compaq DC5100, Windows XP Pro. Purchased 2005.Power Consumption - BOOTA = 22-50WB = 29-39WC = 125-160WPower Consumption - IDLEA = 12WB = 28WC = 115WPower Consumption - SIMULATION (5sec long simulation)A = 24WB = 35WC = 150WAudible Noise - IDLE (scale 0 = no noise, 10 = loudest)A = 3 (laptop is even quieter when raised above table surface)B = 4-6C = 10

Really good specs, But bad display and webcam.
By NNN
If you compare the specs of this laptop with others of the same price range, you will find that this one is outstanding. Fast latest generation processor, and impressive 1TB hard drive, 8GB memory, the Discrete NVIDIA graphics, backlit keyboard, Blu-ray drive etc are all good.What this lacks is two things.1) A really pathetic webcam: Unless your face is illuminated with direct sunlight, all you will see is some dark shadows on the the screen when the webcam is used. It is impossible to use this webcam if you use it indoors for a video chat. This is with all the defaults settings. If you adjust the "Exposure" setting for the webcam, if will become brighter but then the motion blur on the video causes it to be unusable again. I went to a local costco and compared the units there too and see that this is a problem with the dv6-t model from HP. I saw another dv4-t model which was having a good webcam. ( which was sitting right next to the dv6t, so the lighting is not any different between both ) .2) Another annoying thing is that the LCD is having a bluish tint. So the colors were all different than what it really is. This is a problem if you use if for some photo/video editing. You may be able to do some color calibration and get what you want, but having payed close to 1000 bucks, I would expect HP put some effort into creating a color profile for the display which is actually good enough for most users to use with.In short I bought this with great expectations form hp's shopping site, but ended un in returning it 3 days after I got it delivered.

Don't waste your money
By Janet McNulty
I bought this computer a year ago because I needed a pc that could handle my entertainment needs and work. I even got a few memory upgrades so that it could handle everything I do. At first this computer worked great and I was really happy with it. A month after receiving it the display got these horrible horizontal lines across it. I sent it in for repair and then it worked fine. Two months later, I got the same problem. Lines all across the screen. So I called HP's repair service and sent it in, they fixed it and sent it back. 4 months after that the lines appeared again. and I had to send it in for a third repair. The problem still isn't fixed because they showed up again.Now, my computer refuses to read an external drive. I have a Hirachi external drive, brand new, and whenever I try to open files on it, my HP computer freezes up and then the screen goes blank. HP repair because since they have failed to solve the screen problem how can I expect them to solve this. I spent $1100 on my HP and feel I wasted my money.I ended up buying a low end Toshiba 6 months ago and thus far it has worked far better than this computer. Hp still refuses to change out my computer or refund my money despite the fact that it is still under warranty. I have done system recoveries and virus scans. Nothing has worked. Basically, I feel cheated. Do not buy. I do not recommend and will not be buying HP again.
