I am an engineer that works with high finish computers and various operating systems on a every day basis. I have a work laptop but this is my 1st personal laptop computer and 1st experience with windows 7. my earlier computer was a compaq desktop with windows xp that I bought 8 years ago and has had no issues (other than I had to have the floppy drive replaced several years ago). although I was growing sick of waiting ten seconds for a window to open, it was difficult for me to spend $ on something that i already had. but now (one week after owning the dv6-2170us) I have no regrets!I did plenty of research on amazon.com before I bought this laptop computer. my requirements were windows 7 home premium, at least 4gb of RAM (this laptop computer is expandable to 8gb of RAM), high-end processor (see - this processor is in the 'high-end' section), HD monitor (stunning, even able to 3D graphics; however, I haven't tried this), optical / dual layer DVD burner, large hard drive (500GB is over I'll probably ever use).
in addition to my requirements, this computer features bluetooth, the longest battery life I have heard of (up to 8 hours), a remote control (it will come in handy when watching movies from my bed; however, I bought a 23" HDTV monitor to plug in to by HDMI cable from this laptop computer), and a built-in webcam (picture looks nice, resolution???).I was initially concerned with the 'espresso' design (turns out it doesn't bother me at all; actually, I kind of like it because it prevents me from focusing on finger print smudges - I am kind of a tidy freak) and 15" would not be large (it is over large ).I am amazed at how speedy this laptop computer operates. I assume that this is in part because of windows 7 but it could basically be this laptop's processor, RAM, bus, etc.
my only complaints are that i was not aware that the battery would give this laptop computer a bubble butt (however, I don't mind it because I am liking the way it angles the keyboard for my hands to access...like a docking station would) and you require to generate your own 'system recovery' DVDs (however, it only took ~ twenty minutes to do this myself).I have arthritis in my hands/wrists from using computers (in general, not this computer) for long periods of time without resting over several years; therefore, i pay attention to ergonomic design nowadays. I am liking the keyboard and touch (mouse) pad on this laptop computer. I was pleasantly surprised that the keyboard encompasses a numeric pad as well. however, I did purchase the hp elite wireless keyboard and mouse combo (for $15 at dealpal), which ought to be showing up within the next day or two.
overall, I am a very happy customer (yes, you could even say i am liking it)!
