The Devil's Advocate
The HP 6516TX specs are amazing on paper and for 58k ithink its a good buy .... first the machine core:
Widescreen 15" - 1280x800 reso
2 GB RAM
C2D 1.5 GHz
160 GB HDD
GeForce 8400 GS - 128 MB
Now some addons which are really cool multimedia features ...
The Quickplay Controls ...
these are touch sensitive tap-buttons which are quick and easy access to the QuickPlay Menu (quick Play is kinda HP's Media Centre),
then the keys have access to Play, Pause, Next, Previous and volume ....
the volume control is kinda cool ... slide ur finger to the right the volume increases slide in the other direction volume decreases
After that this baby has a finger print scanner which allows u to lock ur lappy to ur finger (this is kinda really cool to play with ... feels like MI-3)
Then i get a dual layer dvd writer (which i still have to try)
HDMI output port (another good feature i feel - future secure)
2 USB ports, 1 fire wire port, 1 external monitor connector, expandable slot, Memory card reader PCMI express slot
Now the Wi-Fi and bluetooth features are also there and u have a slider which allows u to turn on or off the wireless features
The mouse pad has a unique feature ... it has a button which when u press the mouse pad is dis-abled -the clicks, scrolls and mouse is dis-abled
Blue neon lights .... this is something adds to the sex appeal of the notebook .... the quickplay controls i was talking about earlier have this blue neon light glowing below them, the charger input on the right has a circular light surrounding the slot where u connect the charger
Integrated Camera and mic ... again really and this my friends is the only draw-back this machine has ... the camera is a VGA camera, the mic has a good range u dont need o go too close to the screen ...
WEI is 3.1 thanx to the 8400GS
and it comes bundled with Home premium and using ultimate on 512 mb and then this on 2gb is like an amazing feeling ... using vista is so cool on this baby
Now comes my personal favorite the Multimedia Remote .... yes i have access to complete multimedia features in my palm .... the remote is filled with featres ... it is blakc and gray and has all buttons in black except the Windows Media Centre launcher which is in Green and the remote looks kick a$$ coz of this green button ... the remote can launch quickplay menu, windows media centre and u browse play pause everything from the remote, the remote also has the shut down button ... hit it the baby hibernates and hit it again the monster awakens (yes hit the button when machine off it springs back to action)
It also has 2 headset connectors along with a mic connector in the front
PS: im arranging the images and will upload em asap ...
