4.0 out of 5 stars Overall A Very Good Value, February 2, 2010
By Ken E (Alabama) - See all my reviews
This review is from: HP Pavilion DV6-2150US 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black) (Personal Computers)
HP 2150us - Pros - Super fast processor. Simple things like opening the contral panel to access add/remove programs only takes a second or two. All the programs appear immediately. I had to wait on my last computer for the programs to load. Everything moves very fast. Attractive gloss black that surprisingly doesn't pick up fingerprints and smudges as fast as I feared. When they do appear, they rub off easily.

Cons- the keyboard - don't know exactly what's different but after 2 weeks of heavy daily use, I'm still not adjusted to it. It feels like it's layout is one key too far to the left causing your fingers to land on the wrong keys. It is much different from the HP I replaced. Also the sound is very weak. It is hard to hear unless the volume is pushed up much farther on the scale than I am used to doing.

I moved from XP to Windows 7 and am still flubbing around trying to find everything but the computer itself is a great product and a very good buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Student/Work computer, March 26, 2010
This review is from: HP Pavilion DV6-2150US 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black) (Personal Computers)
I will start of by saying I looked at alot of computers before buying this one. I like this computer like the reviews say it is fast has alot of little extras like hdmi port, remote, touch volume at the top, blue tooth, good sound for a laptop, looks real nice, webcam, and windows 7. Windows 7 does rock from sleep to awake this laptop takes less than one second and all I do is sleep the laptop so it is allways instently ready.
I like everything but the screen you cant tell looking at the screen alone but but hook it up to your LCD flat screen and you will see how much better a screen could look. You might say it is not fair to compare it to a tv so I also compaired the screen to a mac laptop screen mac's have way more vivid and deeper colors and I put it next to a MSI screen I insently saw a big differance in compairing screens. Dont believe me try it put it next to a MSI or mac look at the same picture on both screens you will see HP could use some more vived deeper colors. My other complant is there is allways a fan running you wont here it at the stores it is to loud in store to hear a little fan but take it home you will hear it, it is not loud but I would just prefer fans to run only when the computer is working hard.
Hope this review is helpfull if it is please recomend it.HP Pavilion DV6-2150US 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black)

4.0 out of 5 stars Great laptop for entertainment, February 12, 2010
This review is from: HP Pavilion DV6-2150US 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black) (Personal Computers)
I have had this laptop for a week and really like it for my uses.I do not play games but other than that it is a overall great laptop for net surfing, watching dvds and other media uses.I loaded itunes and put 5 cds on my harddrive relatively easy.It only ran at 8.5x speed at the max so putting alot of cds on this will take awhile.One of the drawbacks with the DVD player is that it says you can only switch regions 5 times so I won't be watching my PAL dvds I have on this machine,Set-up was a breeze and this is my first wireless computer.It found my neighbors networks at a resonable strenght to about 100 feet away so in any size house you should be able to use it anywhere.My network set-up and use is petty easy but I might be getting some interfernce with a wireless phone because I have to be within 15 feet or so to upload photos without losing the signal.The bottom of this does not get hot at all so you can put it in you lap and couch surf easily.The scroll feature on the touch pad is easy to use and the keyborad is comfortable enough to use and loaded photos was asnap also.The battery life is not that great so you might want to buy an extra battery if you are using this while flying of long car trips.I given it a 4 star review but if I where rating it on what I paid for it($599) I give it 5 stars.The screen is great and the HD videos on youtube look as good as HD TV but this machine does not have a blu-ray player so you are dependent on Netflix or blockbuster if you want a HD true experience.the screen adjusts the image to the type of movie you put in so a widescreeen movie fills up the screen while non-widescreens are s adjusted to get the most of the picture.Another very cool feature fromHP is the mediasmart program,it has links to snapfish and youtube which make using these sites very easy.

4.0 out of 5 stars It is a good computer, April 11, 2010
This review is from: HP Pavilion DV6-2150US 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black) (Personal Computers)
For me, it takes a while to get used to. It is a little different from my desktop at home, though the desktop at home is about 4 years old. The battery life seems to last about 2 hours of active use and 2 hours of hibernation/sleep mode. I took it on me on a 5 1/2 car ride. Over all, it has great performance. I loaded 20 shows of Yo Gabba Gabba and 5 shows of the Fresh Beat Band. So, it has lots of great memory. I guess my concern is the battery life. I like the computer and still am learning about it. Any suggestions would be great.
