HP Pavilion dv6-3250us is one of the best entertainment notebook PC with affordable price. Based on its specifications we conclude that it’s a good laptop for desktop replacement or home entertainment. Not only that, it’s a 15.6 inch laptop, not too heavy and has a durable battery for unplugged use (up to 5.5 hours of battery life) therefore it’s still very acceptable for computing on the go.
As usual, HP laptops always have a good looking design, the HP dv6-3250us is not an exception. It comes with brushed aluminum finish with the stream design in argento which makes this notebook looks very stylish. Supported by Intel HD graphics, its 15.6 inch LED display produces brighter and sharp visual clarity – great for watching HD movies, gaming and viewing widescreen contents. And above the screen there is a built-in webcam plus mic for video chat.
It offers good specs, powered by a smart multitasking CPU – the Intel i5 dual core processor @ 2.66GHz and also has fairly big system memory (4 GB DDR3 RAM). Furthermore you can tweak the CPU – speed it up to 2.93GHz with Turbo Boost technology. And if you think the memory is not enough the HP Pavilion dv6-3250us allows you to upgrade the RAM up to 8GB. With such hardware it’s no doubt that the laptop’s performance is really fast, more than enough for everyday tasks.
It houses a 750 GB SATA hard disk drive. Even though the hard drive spindle speed only runs at 5400RPM (slightly lower than 7200RPM) but it provides a massive amount of storage capacity to store your movies, music, software, backups, documents and other files.
In addition to video / audio entertainment, the laptop is also equipped with Intel® WiDi technology (used to stream contents wirelessly from the notebook to HD TV), stereo speakers with Dolby Advanced Audio and a HDMI interface port (to connect the laptop to HDTV with a single cable). Other cool features include a isle-style illuminated keyboard, fingerprint reader, Wireless N WiFi, SuperMulti DVD±R/RW with LightScribe and Double Layer support and multi-format card reader
