Great Laptop
By Mark
The 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 I7's, 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 HP's and its the preloaded software. I don't know if other company's 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 wasn't 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.

By David Camejo
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...

I bought the dv6-3052nr and HP replace another notebook with the dv6-3160us and here is what I discovered, first the comparison of systems:The dv6-3052nr has the following technical details:Intel Core i7-720QM processor 1.60 GHz with Turbo Boost Technology up to 2.80 GHz; 6 GB DDR3 System Memory (2 DIMM) - Max supported = 8 GB; 500 GB (7200 RPM) Hard Drive; Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit15.6 Inch HD HP Brightview LED Display (1366x766); ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 Graphics with up to 4091 MB total graphics memory with 1 GB dedicated; SuperMulti 8X DVD±R/RW with Double Layer Support and LightscribeBrushed aluminum finish with the stream design in argento (silver); HP TrueVision HD Webcam with integrated digital microphone; 5-in-1 integrated Digital Media ReaderIntegrated 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet LAN (RJ-45 connector); Wireless LAN 802.11b/g/n WLAN3 Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0; 1 HDMI; 1 eSATA + USB 2.0; 1 VGA (15-pin); 1 RJ -45 (LAN); 1 Headphone-out/Microphone-in combo jackThe dv6-3160us has the following technical details:AMD Phenom II Quad-Core Mobile Processor N950 (2.10GHz, 2MB Cache); 4GB DDR3 SDRAM memory (2 x 2GB) (expandable to 8GB); 640GB (5400 RPM) Serial ATA hard drive; Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit15.6 Inch diagonal High-Definition HP BrightView LED Display (1366 x 768), ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 switchable graphics with 1GB dedicated DDR3 memory up to 2685MB total graphics memoryExternal Ports: 5-in-1 memory card reader; 4 USB 2.0 (4th port shared with eSATA); 1 HDMI; 1 VGA (15-pin); 1 RJ -45 (LAN); 1 Headphone-out; 1 Microphone-inLightScribe Technology SuperMulti DVD Burner; Dolby Advanced Audio with Altec Lansing speakers; Integrated 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet LAN; Wireless LAN 802.11b/g/n WLAN & BluetoothBrushed aluminum finish; 101-key compatible with island-style full-size backlit keyboard; HP Clickpad with On/Off button; HP TrueVision Webcam with integrated digital microphone; HP SimplePass with integrated fingerprint readerIMO PRO's:3160 has a backlit keyboard and and that has helpful in where I can do work. I have been getting about 3.5 hours of use for the battery in the power-saving 4250 gpu and I only game when i have it plugged in (I only play wow so this is not a game review).Other thoughts:When using the better processor of the i7 over the Quad-AMD I did not see enough of a performance boost to warrant keeping the system over returning the 3052ns to Fry's when HP replaced another notebook I had with the 3160us. I had replaced the HDD with a 7200 RPM and upgraded the RAM to 6GB to make the processor the only difference. If you have a Quad but want to save money then get this model because all the other specs are the same except for the backlit keyboard and Ralink Wifi-BT adapter, also if you run UBUNTU Linux or Fedora 14 Linux then get the driver zip file from Ralink and follow the makefile commands to compile the driver from source code. I dual boot the 3160us and that was the only hiccup in Fedora but I did both for distro testing.Now here on Amazon there is only a $100 difference but the invoice from HP showed the 3160us system as $741 and with tax at Fry's the 3052nr came to $1,092. You do the math and regardless of what the spec testing software says when you use both with clean installs and 1.5 seconds was the biggest time difference I could measure then I went AMD and never looked back.Hope this helpsUpgrades I would recommend9-cell battey becauses it raises the system up for better airflow and longer life unplugged.
