 DV6-2170US Startup March 8, 2010
D. Burrows (North Georgia)
So far I am quite happy with my new DV6-2170US. It is not destined to run software that will tax it, but after my first week it has performed well with the applications I have. Technical support from HP was awful, but I expected that. (During the process of making Office 2003 operational I was informed that, among other things, Office 2003 was not oompatible, even with Windows 7 Professional, and that my wireless router was not compatible with Windows 7! Both issues were overcome with a few minutes of help from my ISP's technical people.)
br /
br /I did enable Windows 7 Professional immediately, and I did download the XP emulator (all 400+MB!) I have not needed the emulator to-date, however. I can not speak for Windows 7 Premium, but Professional supports Office 2003 Professional, and all of my other XP applications. (Sony Sound Stage, Starry Night Pro, Photoshop, a British-based laboratory data acquisition system, an many others.) If you plan to use the XP emulator, note that not all processors are supported. (And it requires enabling the processor's XP emulation mode in the BIOS.)
br /
br /You can read the performance results in other reviews. I am still busy uninstalling unwanted software provided by HP. Again, with the exception of HP's tech support, I am very happy.
 Excellent All Around Performer March 8, 2010
P. Manzon (BURBANK, CA, US)
Good:
br /Core i7 Intel chip
br /Doesnt have a lot of "Bloatware" to bother you
br /Snappy and speedy
br /Good amount of space on the harddrive
br /Relatively quiet even when the fans are spinning
br /Lightweight for the kind of power it punches
br /Has a num-pad
br /Screen is very bright thanks to the LED lighting
br /
br /Bad:
br /Fingerprint Magnet on the keyboard, outer shell and even on the handrests
br /Depending what you do, it can get pretty hot
br /Also Depending what you use the laptop for, the battery life can get cut short, but thats with any laptop really.
br /
br /This laptop is a pretty versitile laptop that can appease the gamer, power user, or even a web surfer. It is a really sleek looking laptop and it doesnt scream out like the alienware laptops or dell XPS. The only thing that brings attention to the laptop is the light it has on the outerside lid. It lights up the HP logo, which some people will like or some wont. The laptop keyboard is kind of squished because they added a numpad, but coming from a 17" laptop with no keypad, this was a welcomed addition. The LED lit screen is amazing. Everything comes out crisp and bright especially since the graphics are being run on a dedicated nvidia m230 card. This card helps out with more of the demanding resources when playing a PC game, and will drop the battery life.

WOW!!! March 7, 2010
Harry A. Pagan (North Miami Beach, FL)
Perhaps it's because I upgraded from a really old HP (dv1000) but I am thoroughly impressed with this laptop. I have not put it down yet. P.S. Windows 7 is the shisnit.
Relieved and Extremely Pleased March 3, 2010
J. DREIER (North Pole, AK)
I bought this HP for my wife to replace her 3 year old Toshiba. It's 100% her computer but she places everything technical in our lives on me and then holds me accountable for its performance. My wife is brutal on electronics and her laptop is no exception. The Toshiba had a VERY hard life and ticked along perfectly until the past few months. After wasting $200 on a failed repair (hard drive) I decided it was cheaper to replace it than to nurse it along. I initially went shopping for another Toshiba and frankly, I feel like I would be writing a 5 star review for a Toshiba if it hadn't come down to a $150 price difference. I was able to use the competing Toshiba at a retailer, but when I went to Amazon I found this HP. Nearly identical in performance and appearance; aside from a couple of keyboard control features they were the same.
br /
br /I bought the HP, Amazon shipped it FedEX and it arrived to Fairbanks Alaska in less than 48 hours (used standard shipping, nothing special). She loves it, charged it up and it performs flawlessly and much better than my 8 month old Dell XPS (Argh, never again...long story). I have not attempted to load Office 2007 yet, but suspect from my research on 64 bit systems, it will work fine. Neither one of us cares for the bubble scheme and thinks it detracts from the professional look of the rest of the finish (petty, I know).
br /
br /The mouse pad works perfectly and I particularly like the keyboard layout and feel of the keys. I REALLY like the number pad without having to buy a 17+ inch system which is of course standard now.
br /
br /4 USB ports, 1 HDMI output, a great LCD screen and Graphics card...zero to complain about. Oh, and Windows 7 works very well.
br /
br /I'll report back if it doesn't hold up to the flagrant neglect my wife typically inflicts on her electronics, but as of for now she is rightfully treating like a shiny new sports car!

It is great I love it February 28, 2010
T. Moussa (Pennsylvania)
I agree with all who gave it 5 stars. I do not want to repeat what they said.
br /I teach in an online university , I needed a fast computer, and this laptop is so fast. Windows 7 is great too.
br /I got it for 725$ from Amazon and I think it is worth the price. I think it was the best deal.
