Relieved and Extremely Pleased
I bought this HP for my wife to replace her 3 year old Toshiba. It’s 100% her computer but she places everything technical in our lives on me and then holds me accountable for its performance. My wife is brutal on electronics and her laptop is no exception. The Toshiba had a VERY hard life and ticked along perfectly until the past few months. After wasting $200 on a failed repair (hard drive) I decided it was cheaper to replace it than to nurse it along. I initially went shopping for another Toshiba and frankly, I feel like I would be writing a 5 star review for a Toshiba if it hadn’t come down to a $150 price difference. I was able to use the competing Toshiba at a retailer, but when I went to Amazon I found this HP. Nearly identical in performance and appearance; aside from a couple of keyboard control features they were the same.
I bought the HP, Amazon shipped it FedEX and it arrived to Fairbanks Alaska in less than 48 hours (used standard shipping, nothing special). She loves it, charged it up and it performs flawlessly and much better than my 8 month old Dell XPS (Argh, never again…long story). I have not attempted to load Office 2007 yet, but suspect from my research on 64 bit systems, it will work fine. Neither one of us cares for the bubble scheme and thinks it detracts from the professional look of the rest of the finish (petty, I know).
The mouse pad works perfectly and I particularly like the keyboard layout and feel of the keys. I REALLY like the number pad without having to buy a 17+ inch system which is of course standard now.
4 USB ports, 1 HDMI output, a great LCD screen and Graphics card…zero to complain about. Oh, and Windows 7 works very well.
I’ll report back if it doesn’t hold up to the flagrant neglect my wife typically inflicts on her electronics, but as of for now she is rightfully treating like a shiny new sports car!

HP Pavilion DV6-2162NR review
I recently purchased this laptop through Amazon. I have been very happy with this product. I really debated between this one and the 2170 with the faster processor, however I didn’t really want to spend the extra money on the 2170. The 2162 is very fast. I use it mainly for internet and school. I do play some games and it seems to handle them just fine. I think this is a good processor and would recommend it to people who use it for what I do.
There is plenty of hard drive on this computer. I enjoy having all the memory for pictures and videos and many other misc. stuff. I had a toshiba with half the hard drive and I didn’t fill that one up in 2.5 years. I haven’t really played with the picture and video programs yet, but they seem to do a lot.
The battery seems to have good life, and last a few hours while unplugged. The screen has good picture quality. I watch netflix on it and it works very well, and has good quality.
I enjoy the keypad because of the 10key on it. However, it does take a little getting used to since the keys and the touch pad are a little off centered from a standard laptop. The touch pad seems to be very good also. It has enough USB and other connections that come in handy!
The only thing that I am a little disappointed in is the speakers. My last laptop, the toshiba, hard very good quality speakers with a little sub. These ones are a little weak, but they are ok.
Overall this is a good laptop, and I would recommend it to others.
