HP Pavilion dv6t Series
$599.99
Released May, 2011
The Pros:Aluminum case finish looks clean and striking. Ability to switch from gaming graphics to battery saving mode is a unique feature, easy to use and works well. Boots up very quickly, only a minute and it's running.
The Cons:When resting wrists on the plastic top, it sinks a bit and the aluminum rim digs in. Battery charger is oversized, not easy to lug around when traveling. Case is very cold to handle in the winter.
