Still cant find the option to switch GPU . When I click on 'Configure Switchable Graphics'. I get the following screen:

Please help guys!!

Yes, that is what you should get. There is no option of manual switching. You can only select the mode in which an application is to be run, and the CCC will automatically use the GPU required for that program.

Thanks Aniket. I have another question guys. Is there a way to check which GPU is active ??

Is its display angle dependent?

 

[amirtaraj]

No difference between the two except for the HDD size, and the increased VRAM. The colour is deep chocolate brown, almost like the colour of coffee beans (check the pics posted on the beginning pages of this thread). I believe the 6017tx is no longer available at most stores, at least not at stores i checked.

Thank you for clearing my doubt will enquire in shop about exact pricing and planning to get one next month..........

Any idea about when or will they launch the 1080p screen dv6 in India.....? also in US site there is a new steel (grey silver colour) available so will they get here.....?also bluray? why dont we get all these here they should have bring in a varient with all these and a i7 2820 processor.......may be i am spoilt after visiting US site.....

Just brought HP DV6-6017tx a few hours back, initial impressions -

1. Haven't installed any games 'YET', so cant comment on the heating issues, but still for those still anxious, till now the heat up has been acceptable considering an i7 machine...

2. It looks really sexy, compact and slim compared to XPS15 as i had both of them in front of me while deciding...

3. Best part was that i did not have to wait 13-15 days for delivery like in the case of XPS15, was ready in stalk so got it instantly !

4. The display is good if not the best but still the best sub 1080p i have seen.

5. The sound quality is good but not in the league of XPS15, but still if XPS has the best sound, DV6 is only in the second spot !

6. Got it for 53K while the same config for XPS was going 60k+, so defiantly a great deal.

Thats it for now i guess, bak to my new love

got it from lavision (sainik market). its a bit of creeking sound that comes when i press the direction key (> )and numpad key (0). else the keyboard is fine.

 

[swiftshashi]

heartiest congratulations for the device!!
did the dealer offer you that scheme and price himself or did you bargain hard??i'm asking this because other dealers are quoting 54k for 6017tx and 56k for 6121tx without any such offer...didnt give la vision a chance though.!!

Hey people. Been following this thread for some time now, some good discussion going on here.
I've been wanting to buy this laptop (first 6017tx but now have to go for 6121tx) but couldn't buy it because the dealers say that extended warranty is not available which is really important to convince my parents.
So could anyone please tell me if they bought it with extended warranty or that the warranty will become available in the future?
Thanks anyway to all the people who posted in this thread.

All of us have got one year warranty.. Actually in india the extended warranty is not available with hp laptops till now.. In US its available.. If you want a laptop with extended warranty go for dell.. Or if you want vfm then buy hp..

I have a similar problem. My battery wear is 8% although I have never overcharged it

How do you check your battery status? I just checked mine using CPUID and HWInfo, and the results are as follows:

U'r fully charged capacity is even higher than designed capacity.My batterys wear level is 7%.Whats u'r usage pattern?I usually charge it fully and use the laptop.also at times i use it while its being charged.
