HP Pavilion m6-1045dx entertainment laptop goes on sale in the US for $730
The US-headquartered tech corporation, Hewlett-Packard, has reportedly started shipping its latest Pavilion laptop, dubbed as the m6-1045dx. This portable computer is described as an “Entertainment Notebook” by the manufacturer and is now up for order on Best Buy’s website, priced at $729.99.
According to the product data sheet, the new device comes outfitted with LED-backlit widescreen display that measures 15.6 inches in diagonal and delivers a native resolution of 1366-by-768 pixels (HD). Furthermore, the m6 is apparently equipped with a third generation Ivy Bridge Intel Core i5-3210M central processing unit. Made in 22nm technology, this chip incorporates two physical cores operating at a base frequency of 2.5GHz (up to 3.1GHz via Turbo Boost 2.0) and the integrated Intel HD 4000 graphics controller.
Underneath the hood, HP’s latest entertainment laptop houses 8GB of DDR3 RAM and a 750GB mechanical hard drive (5400RPM) with HP ProtectSmart HDD Protection. Connectivity-wise, users are provided with an Intel Wireless LAN 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth (with WiDi) modules.
Other features of the m6-1045dx include three USB 3.0 ports and one USB 2.0 port, a DVD Burner, an HDMI interface, a duo of built-in speakers (and subwoofer) with Beats Audio, multi-in-1 memory card reader slot and an HD web camera for video conferencing.
HP claims the notebook is 1.04-inch thick, weighs 5.29lbs with the 6-cell battery and runs on a 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium operating system.

PIECE OF JUNK!!!! Purchased a new one in July, 2012. It started freezing and going blank after about 45 days. Spent many hours on the phone with HP tech support getting nowhere, pulling the battery compartment to check wiring, reinstalling BIOS, etc. They finally gave up and told me I needed to send it in and it would take at minimum of 2 weeks. Not acceptable for a new computer! Returned it to Best Buy and they were great! We were out of the company policy for returns but they did it for us. We got a new replacement in Sept. 2012. We added Geek Squad protection. Thank goodness because about a month later the dvd driver stopped working. I spent another 2-3 hours on the phone with Geek Squad, who couldn't get it to work and put me in contact with a 3rd party to work on it. Finally got it to work. I don't use it much, but I went to use it yesterday and again the dvd driver is code 52, not working. I am currently in queue with HP (so far 35 minutes have gone by) to tell them where they can put this piece of junk! I was returning something at Best Buy today and another person was there with the same computer and issue. The sales person said they have had all kinds of issues with this computer and they recommended a Lenovo. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPUTER AND BRAND!!!!!!... | |
