If HP starts giving quality mobos, I guess 90% of its problem will automatically be solved.
the HP dv6-6017tx, 6121tx, 6140tx and dv6-6165tx thread
Okay, so the after sales sounds fair enough.
Now I have this excellent offer of dv6 6140tx for Rs. 50k. The only problem is I will be shifting to Australia within the month. Do you recommend purchasing the laptop here itself (the international warranty isn't perfectly carried out). Australia doesn't have the exact same models.

How does 6140tx @ 50k sounds as excellent offer? 
Dv6 6140tx comes with Windows 7 Home Basic and 500 GB Hard drive.Instead of this, you can buy dv6-6121tx for 53k .

So, dear OP and other satisfied HP customers, any updates on your experience with your dv6 laptops?
Given HP's terrible hardware quality history, questionable adherence to warranty promises, and hopeless after-sales customer service, it would be surprising that none of you have faced any issues yet.
Have you? Or can it be safely concluded that the whole fiasco with HP's brand image occurred due to the batch of faulty Nvidia graphic cards in the 2007-09 period? In the latter case, I would very much like to purchase a dv6-6140tx.
no issues. great for gaming. every game i've thrown at it runs at the everything set to high and the screen is the best sub-full hd i've seen. the hinges are great and the laptop is slim and looks awesome. the temps stay between 30 and 50 while normal and non-gaming operations and if the cpu is on turbo boost it gets to near 70. and while gaming the gfx card reaches max of 85. so no cooling issues and this was without a cooling pad. the battery life is 4 hrs 50 mins on balanced mode and you can game on it while on battery for 1 hr 30 mins. go ahead and buy the laptop.
Care to post a battery bar screeny?
^4:04 hrs, but still good enough. I see, your discharge rate is very low, thus giving good backup.
btw why so many shortcuts on desktop? Half of them are of games, seems you're gaming all the time

Don't tell me!How does 6140tx @ 50k sounds as excellent offer?
Amongst several options in my neighbouring stores this sounded pretty reasonable. Not much luck online either. I should really go to Nehru Place and check out the prices there. Do you have any estimates on the price?I would love to, but folks here claim that 6121tx is off the shelf now and no longer available in the market. I was a bit too late!
That's great news! I'm going to look for the best deal on this one and then buy it. Based on your feedback I take it the display is decent? People all over the forums warn against buying Dell's 1366x768 screen XPS 15, due to some discomfort in long duration usage.

IIRC it was available for around 48k. The dealer is simply looting you by trying to sell a discontinued product.

the xps screen is fine though not better than the dv6, its not good compared to the fullhd dell xps one but the 768p on the normal dell xps 15 is as good as any and maybe better than most but the dv6's 768p screen is the best.
and the 6140 annd 6121 have been discontinued for the 6165tx. if you can find those in stock then well and good, but the 6165 is the same except for the same cpu with a wee bit more speed and a 750gb hdd. its good but will cost more.

it is 4 hrs and 50 min. the battery bar is wrong. you see that the battery wear level is 7% but in real its 1.8%, that my man will give another 40-50mins. and i tested it myself one night from 11:30 to about 4 in the morning. i watched a movie, dosed some music, saw some pics and of course the internet. and it still had some juice left before automatically sleeping.

!!!!!...hey guys a little help here!!! even in fixed mode and with the power supply on wen i open the amd catalyst all i get is the basic settings..i cannot change my screen resolution on it wen im connected with a external monitor..i can do it with only the intel control panel...wat can b done?
So I went ahead and purchased the 6140tx.
Apparently it is no longer in the market either. In fact, unlike 6121tx than everyone has heard of, no dealer in the length and breadth of Nehru Place knows about 6140tx!
I got the model at GIP in Noida after long search. They have it in stock, so anyone should be able to buy from them. They charged 49k after some discount. I also got the carry bag!
It's been 3 days and so far I'm very happy with the laptop! Thanks to everyone on this thread for the information, reviews and guidance!
Now lets hope this lasts a lifetime.
