Love the laptop : )


Pros - Spend the money for SSD. Boot time is unbelievably fast. In fact, I have been using an iPAD as a book reader because of boot time on TX2. Now that iPad is not so different (except for weight and form factor). Plus with 6 cell extended battery and SSD, i truly get 4+ hours of usage. ( vs 1 + hr on TX2 with 7200 rpm drive). Try the fingerprint reader for login. On TX2, not so reliable. Now I am a convert to the fingerprint security. Go with 8 GB memoryUsing EFS for documents - no noticeable delays since programs load without Bitlocker overhead. Realize EFS is less secure but if someone is after the data they can get it anyway. Nothing HIPAA or privacy related, just company stuff. Using HDMI interface and network replay of their own series via internet to reduce dependency on DVR. Have dropped cable from all but primary TV, using over the air digital or internet play back.Like multi core system. On some technical apps I have seen all four cores heavily used, so the COTS programs are now capable of using multi-core systems.

Con - Size of SSD offered. I have adapted by using home server (with static IPs) for music and photos (remote via internet). May switch to cloud someday.

Good For Everything but Gaming


This is a review of one of the earliest models on HP dv6 so hopefully some of the problems I've had with it have been fixed.Cons: The so-called HP Coolsense does nothing but make annoying sounds and and within a year of using it it over heats easily while playing games or being on for more than three hours. It is very difficult to clean the cooling system because there are no screws that lead to them. Making you have to open the entire case to simply dust it's fans. If you're going to buy this, I highly recommend getting it with AMD Radeon Graphics 7690(i'd recommend upgrading it to Intel i5 processor so the video card doesn't over-power the i3 processor). Intel 3000 works terribly on my system and lags while on the lowest settings.

I have had problems with the HP SimplePass Fingerprint Reader. It often turns off on its own whenever it wants to.

Pavilion dv6-3155dx


Problems are as follows:1) Sometimes the machine fails to completely boot. It will get to a certain phase in the boot process and just hang there. This may be more a function of the Windows 7 (Professional edition) operating system than anything inherent with the PC. But I was of the impression that Windows 7 was supposed to work better than XP. ( I don't have this problem with my XP machine). When this happens I have to pop the battery and force a re-boot. Sometimes more than once. There does not seem to be a rhyme or reason to when it happens.2) Previously all of my laptops have been Dells. Because I use them on the road for work and when traveling, I never use an external mouse as I don't want to have to bother with one. Instead, I use the touchpad. Perhaps I am so acclimated to the Dell touch pad that I'm incapable of adjusting to another manufacturer's touch pad. But my experience with this HP is that the touchpad and associated clicker bars are horrible. The sensitivity of each is somehow simultaneously too sensitive for certain things, and not sensitve enough for others. The net result is that the mouse does not always go where I want it to as quickly as I want. More importantly, the clickers are not as responsive as I need them to be and you seem to have to pay attention to what part of it you press down on ( the middle, the edge?? - it seems to vary) in order to get a response. I have made various tweaks in the program settings to refine the mouse use for my needs, and to some extent you can acclimate to it, but after about a year it is still annoying and inconvenient. If, like me, you prefer not to use a mouse, and instead use the touch pad, I highly recommend that you use it in store first before buying this laptop, or its current version to be sure that it works for you.

I hope that HP has refined the touch pad in subsequent releases.
