The dv6 series by the American the manufacturer Hewlett-Packard has a great score with an exciting price/performance-ratio. All the series' models are positioned well below the mark of 1000 Euros. There even is one version by all means suited for gaming. It sure is fun to play games on your laptop. The model dv6-1140eg is equipped with an ATI 4650 graphics card. Also an obligation for multimedia users is a 15.6" HD display in the 16:9 format.

You can see that the dv6-1099eg at hand quasi defines the currently most low-priced beginner's variant of the dv6 series by HP. It is equipped with a Turion X2 CPU and an ATI 4530 graphics card. The notebook primarily satisfies basic needs such as video and music playback. It is also suited for computer games in a limited way, at least at reduced resolution and level of detail.

It is possible that you have higher needs when it comes to computer games. You can get one of the better-equipped models. They are in principle structurally identical. There are several hundred Euros more expensive models such as 1160eg or 1140eg. They can be considered. Both of them are equipped with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 graphics card. The latter one even has an Intel CPU. It has to be placed above the AMD competition in terms of performance. It positions itself as a serious competitor to the current 9600M GT middle class graphics adapter by Nvidia.

The dv6 series' case is very evocative of the just reviewed HDX16 model by. It is very evocative in terms of looks. It has different lacquering. It really might be a matter of partly identical component parts. Another reason that is last but not least is that it is also due to the identical form factor.

If you think artistically, the dv6 is considerably plainer. For example, they forewent a silver-chrome-colored keyboard. It also used a rather unobtrusive lacquer regarding coloring of further parts. After all, a difference between prices of several hundred Euros to the HDX16 series has to be justified.

There is a change that attracts attention to the kind of display featured. This has also been implemented as a high-gloss panel, although not in Edge-to-Edge design as in the HDX16, but with a conventional display frame. It comes in proper style with a high-gloss look that is beautiful. You can see that almost all surfaces were finished in this manner. The only exception is the case trough. It does show naked black plastic. The lacquer surfaces are sticky and not very convincing in terms of haptic. The look can profit from the depicted ornaments. These are placed effectually. They are found primarily on the display's lid. They are also found in the area of the palm rest.
