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

[Ishu Gupta]

Thanks a lot, I would like to know what fps can I get on above games on High Settings?
And some more question:
1. Should I buy 6017tx or 6121tx? I don't nead 140gb more hard disk, Is there any difference in build or Performance in these laps? Or Is 6121tx slightly better or 6017tx ?
2. I checked online price of these laps and found that much of website has 6121tx for approx 55k and 6017tx for 53k, but Rightgadgets.com is selling 6017tx at 50k and 6121tx at 52.5k? here's the link HP Pavilion dv6-6121tx Laptop Price Buy HP Pavilion dv6-6121tx Laptop Cheap HP Pavilion dv6-6121tx Laptop in India
Why is that much diff here? Is it safe to buy from this site?

6017 has been discontinued. Replaced by 6121
6121TX has better/faster switching of graphic cards.

You can get the 6121TX is the open market for 52-53k
You can also look at th 6140TX for 48k.
It has 1GB 6770M (No perf diff)
No HDMI output
500GB HDD
Lower version of Win7

I don't know about the reliabilty of that site. Never heard of it. I personally would go for an unknown site esp with an expensive purchase.

Hi, long time reader of the forum...but finally managed to put a post together...

I will be getting the dv6 6121tx at the end of this week. The laptop according to my requirements has two weak spots, its 4 GB RAM and its 5400 rpm hard disk. Apart from gaming, I would also do a fair amount of video encoding. However, I only have about 5k spare budget after buying the laptop (Negotiated to about 55k from HP World Bikaji Cama Place Delhi), and I can only afford one of the upgrades now, either a 7200 RPM Hard disk (I asked around Nehru Place and was told it comes around 5.5 k for Seagate Momentus) or a 4 GB RAM (Whose price seemed to vary widely between 2.5k and 5k, even for the same brand such as Corsair!)

Now the question is, first - what are the actual benchmark prices for RAM and HDD? And second, given my requirements, which will be more useful. My intuition and research says RAM but I want to get the opinion of you guys.

Thanks in Advance

55k is a little high. Get it to 52k.

You can also go for the 6140TX. Differences have been mentioned above.

WD Scorpio Black 500GB @ 5.5k
WD Scorpio Blue 1TB @ 6.5k

Speeds are similar. 5400rpm 1TB might outperform the 7200rpm 500GB.

4GB DDR3 1333MHz 1.5k (+- 1k)

Hi guys, I am thinking of buying 6017tx. I live in Delhi, so can anyone tell me any good place to buy this laptop from? (Including the price if possible). If 6017tx is not available I might consider getting the 6121tx

6017TX has been discontinued. You might get older stock from Nehru Place.

Get 6121TX/6140TX from Reliance Digital, Chroma etc.

hi all

i got a que do you see any difference in screen when turn to amd graphics compare to intel hd i know in gaming one does see gr8 improvment in fact some games won't run on intel hd graphics but any difference in normal,browsing, watching movie or photo. any thinking like increase brightness better colour any thing.i know its not a savvy question.

if anyone can help

thanks in advance.

Mostly its just performance difference.
You can get some quality difference in movies by using the ATI card and applying some filters. Google for more info.

Thanks.

Re: the HP dv6-6017tx, 6121tx and dv6-6140tx thread

Guys i have made my mind to buy this HP Pavilion dv-6 6121tx
But i am still not convinced with the prices ????
My Doubts are:

(1) Few members on this forum are suggesting to buy it for INR 53,000

But in my city it is sold in no less than INR 55000

(2) What is the price of Belkin Cooling Pad often mentioned on this forum ??

They are giving me free mouse or headfones etc can I MAKE A DEAL WITH THEM
TO GIVE LAPTOP AND BELKIN COOLING PAD FOR 54,500 ???
Is this deal fair ??? PLEASE tell me your opinions about this deal ??

(3) And can you tell me more about price mentioned on their website ???
IS 54,250 MRP or what ??? at what price approximately do re-sellers and get this product for ???

Kindly answer my questions !!! THANK YOU IN ADVANCE !!!

Re: the HP dv6-6017tx, 6121tx and dv6-6140tx thread

Guys 6017tx is out of production line

donot bother about that.
You can add extra 2-3K for a larger hard drive and a better graphics card.

Dell xps 15: dont buy it with core i5, seriously if you are a game freak
i5 with nvidia will make ur framerate go down.

i5 or i7 wont help you get better framerate.The thing is that Dell XPS comes with uber fail GT540M with ddr3 memory which further limits the cards performance whereas Hp 6121 comes with decent 6770m with gddr5 memory which will provide you much better framerate in comparison.

1) Bargain. Flipkart has it for 54k
3) 54250 is "Suggested market price".

how ?????

He's wrong
i7 is more future proof.
Nvidia 540m will make the framerates go down (compared to 6770M).
Nvidia 555m will give similar FPS.

1. nobody has bought this machine for less than 55K
2. cooling pad will cost you less than 1200.

they'll make a fuss about the freebies like mice and a headphone they are offering you but mice and headphone will together cost you about 500 rupees.

3. no reseller cares about the website
though 54250 is the suggested price but it is exclusive of any taxes

according to my reseller, 51K+5percent taxes was the deal
( he only reduced 300rupees on the total price)
i got it for 54K exact without a mice,headphone etc

buy only in a hp identified reseller shop
try googling "hp india shop locator"

my opinion: 55K is the best deal INCLUDING a cooling pad.

happy shopping

EBAY LINK

check this out dude.. apply some discount coupons and it goes below 53k..

considering similarity in specs, what would be better?? 6017tx or 6140tx? 6140 has hdmi too btw.. jus checked at croma today..

 

[Ishu Gupta]

6140TX > 6017TX
because it has better switching between Intel and ATI.

 

[fz8975]

6140TX > 6017TX
because it has better switching between Intel and ATI.

and by overall performance . .
6121tx > 6140tx > 6017tx

correct me if I am wrong ...

 

[Ruthra kumar]

have anyone upgraded your CCC to 11.7 or 11.6..the AMD site says it's not compatible with 6770m..LINK
