Reviews for the HP Pavilion dv6-3010us

60% HP Pavilion dv6-3010us
Source: PC Mag Archive.org version
The HP Pavilion dv6-3010us ($699.98 list), sold at Staples, boasts a couple of noteworthy new features. For starters, it's one of the first Pavilions we've reviewed to feature HP's new design. It's also one of the first laptops to pass through the Labs with AMD's latest Vision platform. Both the new design and the new AMD Vision platform are mixed bags. We applaud HP's move away from the high-gloss Pavilion chassis it has used for the past few years, but both the keyboard layout and touchpad design will take some getting used to. Also, AMD's new platform offers fair performance and battery life, but it still can't compete with similarly priced Intel Core i3- and Core i5-based systems. The HP Pavilion dv6-3010us is certainly an attractive-looking laptop, but you can find better value and performance elsewhere.

15.60":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

HP: Founded in 1939, the US company is a major server and printer manufacturer and one of the leading IT companies in the world. Until 2015, the company was called Hewlett-Packard Company. After a split, the computer division was renamed HP Inc.

In 2023, HP had an approximate market share of 22% of global PC sales, making it number 2 after Lenovo.

60%: Such a poor rating is rare. There are only a few notebooks that were rated even worse. The rating websites do not give a purchase recommendation here.
