This is the fastest laptop you can buy for games in this price range, probably all the way up to $1000. There's a couple other models on sale at DSE but I think this one stands out the most.

Compared to the Lenovo previously posted (http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/52204) it could be up to 50% faster in games

Radeon HD 6770M 480@725MHz 1600MHz (dv6-6023TX)
Radeon HD 6630M 480@485MHz 800MHz (Lenovo E420/E520)

"The HP Pavilion dv6-6023TX Notebook features a 15.6" High Definition HP BrightView LED screen as well as a 2nd generation Intel Core 5-2410M Processor, 640GB of Hard Drive and ATI Radeon HD 6770M 1GB GDDR5 Graphics making it a well rounded and high performing laptop computer."

    How about that? The Graphics card is a bit weaker but it is i7 still :\ Not as good as the hp 4023tx one but yea?

  • blackrider on 05/09/2011 - 09:31

    The Lenovo deals are better in both terms of price and quality… Nice deal though…

  • jcsantos on 05/09/2011 - 09:32

    whoah , too bad you missed their i7 promo for 717 or is it 787 :D

  • Hellfire on 05/09/2011 - 09:41

    This was much cheaper during the recent Harvey Norman 40% off HP sale.

    • jcsantos on 05/09/2011 - 09:45

      yes I agree, actually we bought one

      Except most stores increased the base price to offset the 40% off, making it very difficult to actually get a cheap price.

        yeah I also heard that if you got one at that price you were pretty lucky as this was a major stuff up!

    DV6-3079T - as many people pointed out, it was much cheaper during the recent 40% off HVN sale.
    DV6-6024T - also much cheaper during the recent 40% off HVN sale.

    DV6-3079T was/is the cheapest i7 Laptop. Cheaper than some of the i5 models, but the touchpad and the keyboard were both very ordinary. DV6-6024T is better (numpad on keyboard, okay touchpad, and switchable graphics). It was also a trade off between eSATA (DV6-3079T) vs USB3 (DV6-6024T). Both lack express card support (home consumer level laptops). Both lack dual band wireless N (only single band).

    I went looking and found only 1 laptop with a 1920X1080 resolution, so disappointed.

  • 1bug on 05/09/2011 - 13:10

    4.24KG, CARRY A BRICK EVERYDAY

      That's Packaged weight. Not laptop weight.

      Review for this laptop says:

      At 2.63kg about average for weight, but it is a bit slimmer overall with a thickness of 31.1mm, depth of 246.8mm and width of 378mm.

  • AngryMan on 05/09/2011 - 15:21

    Pretty happy with the 6135tx i got for $720 in the HN deal, very similar to this but has the i7-2630

    The function key is super annoying tho

    I would never go for HP again.
    My last Hp(dv6-3006tx) died after one mere year, just over the warranty. And the reason is quite simple, the overheating, I dont know where the heat comes up, it was damn hot in 10 mins after the laptop being switched on which killed both my 5650 and HD graphic cards…….

    Yesterday, when I saw Lenovo, I felt happy. After checking so many reviews about the heat releasing design, E420 turns out to be 'satisfactory' with 6630 card, so I assume it should be cooler and safer when I chose HD only this time…….

    Anyway, I dont know if there is any fate or coincident sth, but after my HP died, HP's PC division was reported to be spitted,,,,,,ok, I am mad…..

      I have this same chassis series (DV6-3131tx) and I agree with you 100% in that I too will never buy a HP again.

      Back to the issue on hand… The reason this HP DV6 as well as the previous generations has heating issues is due to a very poor cooling design. I can understand what they were trying to do however they forgot to take into account that people generally place laptops on their laps or on their bed and not always on a clean dust free tile surface. Since there's an intake fan on the bottom of this notebook it sucks both cool air along with the lint/dust from clothes/bed sheets etc and traps it into the exhaust. Now if you open up the notebook (like i have every 2 months) you will notice how thin the exhaust pipes actually are making it impossible for hot air and other foreign material to escape and hence it clogs and overheats.

      Now for those who are planning on buying these current crop of HP's particularly the DV6 series should be aware that the heating issue wont suddenly appear out of the blue. It generally takes time to notice that the notebook is actually overheating and by that time for casual users it's too late. However for those like me who use the computer for at least 12hrs+ a day with demanding applications running e.g. video editing, gaming etc will notice this issue more quickly within like a month.

      To solve this problem you will need to clean out the fan exhaust pipe. Unfortunately compressed air cans wont work which means you will need to disassemble the entire notebook and clean it manually.
