Granted, the HP Pavilion dv6-6135dx doesn't measure up to its competition in terms of productivity and multimedia performance.But it offers the best graphics bang for your buck in this price range, and the Blu-ray drive is icing on the cake. If you're looking for an affordable desktop replacement with some graphics chops and can live with mediocre processing power, put the dv6-6135dx at the top of your list. If you require more speed and wireless options such as WiDi, WiMAX, and Bluetooth, stick with the Lenovo IdeaPad V570-1066A9U.

17.30": This display size is a standard format for desktop replacements (DTR). The DTR laptops are heavier to carry, need more power, but texts are easy to read and high resolutions are no problem. DTR are mainly intended for stationary desk use, where weight and energy hunger don't matter. In return, you enjoy the advantages of high resolutions (more details, better legibility).» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

70%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
