Reviews for the HP Pavilion dv6910us

60% HP Pavilion dv6910us 15.4-inch Budget Laptop PC
Source: Comp Reviews Archive.org version
HP's Pavilion dv6910us may have been cutting edge previously, but the system is really showing its age. To keep costs down, HP made a number of compromises on the laptop including using a less expensive and lower performance AMD processor and using a higher capacity but slower hard drive. This gives the dv6910us much lower performance than competiting budget laptop PCs. On the plus side, HP does include Bluetooth and three gigabytes of memory.
