Microsoft Office 2010 hp pavilion dv6000 notebook

one with the factors that sold me on this laptop computer was the screen. the display is gorgeous. it truly is wonderfully vibrant and apparent, and offers a respectable 1280×800 resolution in a widescreen format. yes, there certainly are notebooks with higher resolution. it really comes down to preference. while other units may give you higher resolution, some may find it hard to read on small screens. for me, i thought 1280×800 was a good resolution to use for a 15.4″ display screen. my only complaint with the display is that the glare is really bad when trying to use the unit outside. it gets so bad that it’s more like looking in a mirror than into a computer display screen. inside, however, the screen is beautiful.
the fact that this unit uses amd rather than intel means that it generates more heat. intel processors just seem to run cooler in notebook computers. all benchmarks aside (because i don’t care), the performance of this notebook is quite good. it actually opens many apps much faster than my desktop pc, which is using an intel pentium core duo. so,Microsoft Office 2010, i have no complaints about speed, however, yes, it does generate some heat.
the built-in altec lansing speakers will certainly not compare to the larger speakers you would plug in externally, but they do generate a nice sound for the size. for multimedia use, the speakers will get the job done.
the dv6000 comes with a thin, little remote control for use in controlling hp’s multimedia player. hp is using a proprietary multimedia player for playing dvds called quickplay. it ties in with the remote control as well as the quickplay buttons on top of the notebook. the player is decent, but many times i found myself simply wanting to use windows media player rather than the quickplay popping up full display screen. also, the fact that it is tied into the quickplay buttons can be a little annoying at times. several times i have rested my fingers on the top from the notebook and accidently pressed the dvd button and launched quickplay. no matter what i’m doing, that interrupts the workflow badly.
