It is amber when the wireless radios are off. When I press the key once, the light goes white, and the wi-fi and bluetooth get turned on. Though I don't remember its behavior while booting up.

26.9 fps is decent for game like crysis 2. so its clear that there is no problem in the hardware its just with the wei and gpuz. well that is not important until u r getting good fps. ok now i can go for dv6 6121tx and one more thing i wanna ask u is that for how much u got that extra 4 gb of ram.. ?
thankyou for ur valuable support..

I bought the RAM online from eBay.in. Check this link. I had a 10% discount coupon, so I got it for Rs. 2200 only.

Everyone knows that amd cpus are cheaper than intel ones.
The video on youtube ( amd a8-3510mx vs intel i7-2630qm) clearly shows that amd is the winner in terms of graphical performance, power usage and similar processing performance as the i7
News is that hp is going to refresh 11 of their laptop models with the amd llano gpus(even the dv6) not to say i7 will be discontinued both will be available in the market.

One of ma friends bought this laptop on previous weak. He is very disappointed becoz he is getting only 2.3hrs of battery life on intel gpu when watching film(not HD). He tells me that dont try to buy this laptop at any cost. I think it has 3-4 hrs of battery back up. Now i am so confused at this time because i have just ordered this stuff. Is he telling is correct ? pls give me a detailed reply

The battery life is quite good considering he got it while watching a film.sara said:

I you want to wait the wait one more month after Llamo for the launch of Ivy bridge and then wait for a couple of months for buldozer. Each one is worth waiting. No offence intended here but technology keeps progressing every day
Dont expect too much battery life from an i7 processor. For movies (and gaming too) i5 and i3 are enough and will give a better battery life
I have not tried but maybe decreasing max CPU performance to 60% can increase battery life. You dont need full fire power for day today work

That can't be it. I just saw 2 complete movies, in total 4 hours and 10 minutes, with full brightness, and still have 16% charge left. Now, this is pretty good battery backup. If you still think it is less, then get a MacBook. I have heard they last longer. But 4 and a half hours is decent for any PC.

well, Ivy Bridge/Bulldozer will come next year.
But I agree that waiting is unfruitful.Regarding Llano, CPU is no match for Intel. GPU is excellent and battery life is excellent + much better than Intel.

First make the backup recovery discs. It would require 3 DVDs, or a 16GB pendrive. After that start the recovery manager and there is an option to remove the recovery partition on the 3rd pane, I think.

i think intel is still better . amd's top of the line apu clocks max 2.53 ghz and also it uses amd radeon 6620g which is inferior to 6770m. the gaming experience will still be better on the current system ie. intel i7 + amd 6770m.

Battery life matters. You add a discrete GPU, you are sacrificing the battery life. And then there is a possibility of A8-3500M's HD 6620g working together with a discrete AMD GPU in an assymetrical crossfire configuration giving you further boost.
A8-3500M with HD 6620g lasted 2.5 hours on battery while gaming/3D-mark and performing much better against i5-2530M with Intel HD 3000 which lasted 1.5 hours and performed much worse.
A8-3500M (expected price ~35k) was performing pretty close to i7 + GT 540M (Dell xps 15 - 53k) in gaming. Although it doesn't stand a chance in CPU intensive benchmarks.
Infact A8-3500M isn't a competitor for i7 + discrete GPU laptops. It is for people who buy 33-35k laptops and then realize they can't run a game on Intel graphics.
It is going to be the best in class in its segment - entry level notebooks.

thats exactly what i mean to say . its good for the people want to play games and are not willing to spend much on a laptop . for 35k its a nice bargain for them . the dual graphics and pricing thing might work for amd .
if you can club it with 6770m , then u should probably have a very good gaming oriented machine and if amd get this apu right , it might create a heavy price war in the segment
