the HP dv6-6017tx, 6121tx, 6140tx and dv6-6165tx thread

[rider]

Answer It Please !!

I went To Hp's Site, Then i went to dv6 series..i saw that some of the laptops are gone from their site like dv6-6165tx is gone..DOES IT MEAN THAT THEY WILL BE GONE FROM MARKET AS WELL?

I also went to dell's site , I SAW 15R'S WITH DEDICATED GPU'S ARE GONE, the only one available is 15R with Intel's Gpu..... What is Happening.


Is this because some new models of hp and dell came in market , I.E. DV7 and New Xps??

Of course kid, it happen every year.. new models come old models get discontinued.

New 2012 Inspiron 15R with Ivy Bridge

 

[pranavgautam67]

I just checked that page !
haha

 

[ratul]

well, they have officially launched the dv6-7000 series and you can customize one on-
HP $800-$1200

Well the dv6 quad series, with recommended configuration is 8GB ddr3 with 1GB GT650m(which should be better than 6770m), and costing around $1135, about the same in INR as 6165tx..
So, if we order online, will it cost more in india than this direct price??

yes, it would get lots of addition excise duty taxes and may get warranty issues in India.

LOL New Ivy Bridges' GPU that is Intel HD 4000 = nvidia GT 525M

BTW new Inspiron 14R and 15R are going to be launch this month
Conf of core-i7 15R:

Ivy bridge Core i7-3612QM CPU 2.1Ghz (upto 3.1Ghz)
6 GB DDR3 RAM (1600 Mhz)
AMD Radeon HD 7730M (better than HD 6770M)
1 TB of space at 5400rpm
Normal HD LED screen
----------------------------------------------------------------
Costing $1,599 singapore dollars i.e. ₹ 68,213 would be cost 60k in India (maybe)

It would be priced higher in India than Singapore, and as Inspiron is a lower model so they might not give the highest configs in India.

They might be discontinued. If you want them get them fast or else you will have a hard time looking for them.

i've owned it for nearly 15 days..
Pro's: tooo many.... & since i havent used the pc yet so hard to say but im satisfied with the performance of this beast!!!
Cons: display isnt that great, a bit noisy when cool sense is on (but thats more of a pro to cool the beast)

I'm using from 5 months
pros: It has performance like a powerful desktop thanks to almighty core-i7.
All games get fine fps in high settings in native resolution. There is no competitor of the same or equal to graphic performance in this budget. Dell is with an average graphic performance, sony vaio is with entry level. This same graphics (HD 6770M) are used in apple iMacs and macbooks.

Cons: Display is fine.. but not as good as a macbook pro or a 1080p display.
Gets speedy plastic fan noise in cool mode (you will hardly recognise when you are gaming). Heating of laptop is same like a dell xps and macbook pro. In intense gaming it reaches to 85*C. I faced poor battery life, getting only 2 hr of battery.

I'm not saying it's the best deal but it's the best for today. See, its a 2011 model.. and many new laptops are going to be launched in this or next month.
Tell your friend to wait sometime and if he can't wait grab 6165tx, as soon as possible.

Cons: display isnt that great, a bit noisy when cool sense is on (but thats more of a pro to cool the beast)

heyy bro, with which laptop you are comparing the display?

 

[samudragupta]

heyy bro, with which laptop you are comparing the display?

[vgr]

Which version of the AMD driver are you currently using?
Has anyone tried out the 12-3_mobility_vista_win7_32-64?

can this fit in a budget of rs.60000-65,000 ?
I am quite interested in hp pavilion dv6-7000 laptop. How much will it cost
in India(Mumbai)? Can we customize it in stores?? Can I get the above mentioned specs in dv6-7000.

I can't believe this because its much much better my 4 yr old hp dv series laptop, and this one has LED backlit too.

well dv7 series is not available in India with these specs. And no option for customization is available in India. are you buying online from US website?

I can't believe this because its much much better my 4 yr old hp dv series laptop, and this one has LED backlit too.

It may sound strange but thats atleast what I have felt.. I may be wrong. Honestly I havent spent much time with the lappy. I spend 3 hrs at night mon-fri and on weekends i try to squeeze it completely. My analysis for the display is solely based on movies and since i am a complete movie buff im sure i may not be wrong... I'm still eager to play games but im not getting the bloody time for that...grrrr

One More Question Please !!!
Its about Beats Audio Software!!!

I have dv6-6154tx with this kiddish beats audio software, and my 3 year old dv6 when connected with speaker sounds better than this new beat audio are connected !! but this is not the problem !!!

When I connect my headphones or earphones or speakers to my laptop, And play anything like mp3 or flv or avi, there is some background noise in the audio !!!

But when i rewind the song,or i mean i play it from the starting again (ctrl+left arrow in VLC), the noise is gone !!
But, if i stop the song or play it again, the noise is back... its kinda annoying !!!
WTH am i supposed to do!!

It happens with vlc, media player classic and even with window media player !!

I am using this laptop since two weeks and I must say im happy with it.

Pros:
- Amazing graphic performance and I'm satisfied.
- The whole thing is very snappy. No lags or unnecessary delays what so ever.
- The keyboard is good to type on and the hardware seems sturdy enough.

Cons:
-Screen is ok but not great. I really don't mind and for me this is more like a compromise for good performance than a negative point.
- The back cover is going to give you problems if you try to mess around with it.

That is pretty much it! This laptop with these specs is a steal for the price. It has better gaming performance than some previous entry level alienwares which are meant to be gaming laptops. So if you are looking for a budget med-high end portable gaming computer this is definitely go with this.

NOTE: You should realize that this model has been discontinued. The new dv6 doesnt have a better GPU but the dv7-70xx will have a better 650m (Am I right?). So wait for it. This laptop is a beast on its own but why not wait for something better if it is going to be available in the near future.

beats audio is a software for those who prefer quality over loudness don't say its kiddish. It's is an amazing software which makes the sound more rich, you will recognize when you listen song from audio CD or flac format audio file. Some minor details of sound that is in the background of music gets enhanced. Their headphones starts with 17k and best one is of 45k.

For your problem I would recommend you to reset beats audio as well as your vlc player.

go to beats audio > advanced setting > Reset.

go to start menu search reset VLC media player wait for a minute.

Beats Audio should be the 1st component you should uninstall when you get your hands on an HP laptop. When I first got my laptop, I was so disappointed with its sound, it was beyond belief. It simply isn't for someone who would prefer 'quality' audio.
And yeah, Beats headphone are quite costly. But they sound cr@p, and not at all justified for their price.

So, which software should be installed instead of beats?
