    Good price for it. Great entry level gaming laptop IMO. You might want to add another 4GB of RAM though.

      Wrong choice of words but to me Its a huge let down. Cant stand the low res screens on laptops. Been like that for ages. I had old laptop in 2003 with a resolution of 1680x1050 with a 15" screen yet now nearly 10 years later it's got worse. Apart for the 1080p lappy's over $1000+ which I don't have.

      For what its worth, it is relatively easy to get an appropriate 1080 panel and replace it yourself.. I've seen the instructions posted online, in a notebook forum somewhere.. can't be bothered looking for them right now but they are out there in case anyone's interested.

      •  
        simulacrum on 11/04/2012 - 15:13

        I'm not disagreeing, just adding a bit of info. For anyone considering buying and upgrading the panel, here's the link: http://forum.notebookreview.com/hp-pavilion-notebooks/610177...

        Personally I'd say it's not worth voiding the warranty.. also you can just ook it up to an external monitor for a comparable amount of money. But you never know, someone may be interested.

          My local OW was happy to price match as long as I could find 1 JB anywhere in Victoria that had stock. So I started ringing all the country Vic JB's and found 2 with stock. Then OW kindly honoured the price match.

        Can't believe how poor the gt 520m is. I lol so hard when people say but it's got 1gb of ram so should be good. So many laptops with this poor gpu, so buyers be smart and research before you buy one with this gpu.

        Fincky wasn't comparing it to a gtx/x8/9xx card but to the HD6770M and neither was I. HD6770M Kills the gt520m 3.5x more.

        PS anything competing against intel hd3000 isnt worth it in my opinion.

        the dv6-6025tx have 2GB more ram and a blu-ray player. Everything else is the same. The blu-ray player and the 2GB extra ram worth nowhere near $800 but enough reason for OW not to do a price match.

        Maybe my memory is getting vague. But if not 12 months, it would be 10 months ago. Guys do you remember the time when Harvey Norman and Domayne doing half price HP laptop sale? I price matched at Officeworks.
        The problem is that the screens were pinkish, speaker rustled, one of the webcam flared and went black from time to time. Screen edges are sharp as knife. Another laptop's mouse pad buttons are not even level! Luckily Officeworks staffs were kind enough to let me refund it after opening 2 stocks.
        Good luck to those who have purchased this laptop and hope I don't wake up your picky nerves.

          I posted this 8 months ago…
          http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/51245

          4023-tx (same specs, except hdd); The edges are rounded and smooth (not sharp or squared?), how does one cut themselves on the edge of a laptop screen without looking for it anyway???, the screen has no pinkish overtone for me (bad luck??), speakers were comparable to any laptop of its size (i used headphones with bass+ anyway), etc etc.

          This laptop can run Battlefield 3, Starcraft 3 and a range of other new performance demanding games without any lag with high settings (not maxed). Cold boots to the OS loader in 3 seconds and battery life even today (8 months lator with daily use) still gives me 1.5hrs on full charge. The only concern I have is when running (AND only when) GPU intensive games, the gpu/cpu start working overtime and the metal shell conducts the heat on the left side. Almost cook an egg, but hey thats an added accessory right. Just keep it ventilated and its manageable.

          Great value laptop, with power and performance to boot.
