HP Pavilion DV6560US Entertainment 15.4-inch Laptop (Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T7100, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, SuperMulti Pavilion DVD Drive, Vista Premium)

I would recommend this labtop 2 anyone..It is worth every sent.The hp imprint finish is really nice.Hp really takes pride in manufacturing their items..From first glance you are attracted 2 the beauty & layout of this labtop..its really a special edition as printed....It is really fast.programs install so fast that sometimes you don't even see the progress bars.The graphics is supberb.I run a lot of graphic & cpu intensive programs like audio editing,video editing,dj mixing.And amazingly I can run all those programs simultaneously without any drop in system performance.and still have an anti virus scanning.the new Intel centrino duo really lives up 2 its name.you can really do more....the mobile remote fits in the pcmia slot so you can never lose it.The ports at the side are very useful.like the hdmi.Webcam works great & the finger print reader works nice to......I don't know why one reviewer said that it doesn't have blue tooth but this one has it as advertised & it works great..And its just the perfect viewing size 2 at least watch movies & have a couple of windows opened up at the same time.I give this series a full 10 because I haven't found a single problem with it.

Se você está querendo comprar esse notebook porque ele tem Bluetooth, desista. A Amazon, apesar de já ter recebido inúmeros comentários a esse respeito continua deixando o erro na descrissão desse computador. Se anteriormente eu soubesse disto, não teria comprado esse modelo.

This is a great computer. The computer is very nicely designed with nice glossy screen. Finger print login is a nice security feature & the built in camera works pretty good. Neat little remote that fits inside the computer 2 control your movie viewing. But the buttons are so small they are hard 2 push so the movie doesn't always react the way you want it. There is alot of HP & third party pre-loaded software which is a pain since most if it you don't need. I would suggest reinstall Vista if you can. Computer came pre-loaded with trial version of Office 2007. But you need a Product Key 2 use it. The product key was not included with the computer so I could not use the trial version anyway! Vista is nice but many software is incompatible. Otherwise, I am very happy with the laptop. Plus the price was great with the rebate from HP & Amazon!

Love this machine. This computer has many powerful features. The only complaint I have is Vista. I work with it at a high school & all the other machines have XP. Vista would NOT allow downgrading 2 XP. I am getting used 2 Vista so not so bad afterall.

Great computer but DOESN'T HAVE BLUETOOTH!!! Be careful, I fell 4 the bad product description. Everything else, great!

The Basics

• Processor: The Intel Core 2 Duo T7100 processor has a 1.8 GHz processor speed, speedy 667 MHz front-side bus (FSB), & a 2 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; & a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU & RAM, & a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)

  The Intel Core 2 Duo processor has two computational execution cores in a single processor, providing greater system response when running multi-threaded applications simultaneously with no significant increase in power consumption. It's optimized 4 multitasking & is ready 2 support the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. It can simultaneously run multiple demanding applications--such as graphics-intensive games or serious number-crunching business productivity applications--while downloading music or running virus-scanning security programs in the background. Some of the advanced Intel innovations of the Core 2 Duo processor include:

  • Smart Memory Access: Improves system performance by hiding memory latency, thus optimizing the use of available computer data bandwidth 2 provide data 2 the processor when & where it is needed.
  • Advanced Digital Media Boost: Effectively doubles the execution speed 4 instructions used widely in multimedia & graphics applications.
  • Dynamic Power Coordination: Coordinates Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology & idle power-management state (C-states) transitions independently per core 2 help save power.
  • Deeper Sleep with Dynamic Cache Sizing: Saves power by flushing cache data 2 system memory during periods of inactivity 2 lower CPU voltage.

• Hard Drive: The 160 GB hard drive (5400 RPM) offers enough 2 room 2 hold a digital audio library of over 26,000 songs & still have room left over 4 movies, games, & a large collection of software.

• Memory: The 1 GB of installed RAM (2 x 512 MB DDR2, PC5300) is a good start, but you'll want 2 add more RAM 2 handle today's demanding multimedia & productivity suites. It provides two DIMM slots & has a 2 GB maximum RAM capacity. It also offers a top-of-class 667 MHz speed. To receive the faster data transfer benefits of the dual-channel DDR2 RAM, any RAM additions require memory modules of same capacity & clockspeed.

• DVD/CD Drive: This multiformat DVD/CD drive is compatible with writing both DVD+ & DVD- disc formats as well as dual-layer (DL) DVD+/-R discs, which can store up 2 8.5 GB of data. It features 4x DVD-R DL Write Once, 2.4x DVD+R DL Write Once, 8x DVD+R, 4x DVD+RW, 8x DVD-R, 4x DVD-RW, 16x DVD-ROM, 40x CD-R, 24x CD-RW, & 40x CD-ROM speeds.
