HP Pavilion dv6-2180us

$880.00 Released January, 2010

The Pros:Decent performance even with somewhat dated specs--can handle modern games at DirectX 10 with moderate settings. Spacious, fairly fast 500GB 7200rpm hard drive--something often lacking even from today's laptops. Excellent inputs/outputs/connection options--VGA, HDMI, 4USB/ieSAT USB, etc.

The Cons:Dated specs--AMD Turion II processor and DDR2 RAM. Fairly chunky and heavy compared to more modern offerings. Gets very hot after a while of use, sometimes to the point of overheating.

The dv6-2180us is a mid-range entertainment laptop from HP's Pavilion dv6 Series. The laptop is designed with a 15.6" widescreen LED-backlit display with HP's BrightView technology and a 1366 x 768 pixel resolution.
