I am not a novice to technology starting in the 1990's with DOS. Having owned 6 laptops prior I was sold on Dell until lately. Their customer service, battery life, HD crashes, etc. caused me to look at other brands.

The Hewlett Packard DV6-3240 us initially caught my eye do to the style; sleek, lighted logo, and pewter color. Sweet. But the real love affair begins when you open the lid - lighted, spill resistant keyboard, quick keys (email, browser, print calculator, etc. to the left) blu-ray, finger print identification, burns your label on your cd...wow. When watching videos streamed or Youtube, I would have to wait for it to buffer. No more. The HD sound and picture is phenomenal. I love this computer. Even the HP backgrounds are amazing.

The finger print ID is a plus. No more logging in, remembering your password, looking for where you wrote it down...having that "Oh yeah, I had to change it, but what is it?" moment. After you do the initial set up...wah-la...swipe your finger and you're in. This until pairs beautifully with the HP printer (yes, I threw the Dell wireless printer out the door after reinstalling the drivers no less than 15+ times due to no communication...grrrrrr). The set up is a breeze. As you can tell, I definitely recommend this computer.

Long live HP June 19, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
Wow! Had the laptop for couple weeks before I realized it has a back-lit keyboard. Super feature to have, especially when you can't control the area's lighting. As far as speed goes, it boots up in LESS than a minute. Wireless network installation was a breeze. Transferring data from an old PC to this one is a little tricky - suggest researching that subject (called Easy Transfer) so you can also order the optional software/special-USB-cable and have it arrive at the same time as the laptop. Keyboard is 'almost' the same size/layout as a desktop keyboard. Never cared for the touchpad but this one was easy - although I did hook up a wireless mouse and use that exclusively (when able). The sound is ample and I'm critical about that feature - use it a lot for downloading/making MP3 disks. Plenty of hard-disk storage and the selection of jacks are perfect and well placed. The screen is crystal clear and can be adjusted using the function keys (and so can the sound). Have'nt used the built-in Mic/Camera yet. It's a little heavy for a laptop so I bought a soft carrying case to make it easier to carry around. Also bought a shell (hard case) which is like sealing the laptop in plastic - highly recommended. If you don't mind the heavyness due to the large screen (and 5+ hour battery life capability), can't think of a better buy!

HP Pavilion dv6-3240us July 16, 2011

I have only had this laptop for a couple of weeks and like most of its features - but I don't seem to be able to master the pad. The cursor seems difficult to guide about the screen. Perhaps there is a secret that I haven't found yet, but I'm leaning toward buying a small usb mouse rather than fighting the pad. Otherwise, the resolution and colors displayed are vivid and pleasing. The computer was bought for traveling and I'm looking forward to having my email and facebook available in my hotel room. I would purchase this laptop again and certainly recommend it to others. I rate it 4 1/2 stars!
