Reviews for the HP Pavilion dv7-6163us
Source: PC Mag
Archive.org versionIf you're looking for a large laptop that's also truly powerful, you won't find it in the HP Pavilion dv7-6163us—you will have to shell out considerably more, on something like the Dell XPS 15z, to find it. But if you're not satisfied by the diminutive dimensions and too-basic feature sets you find on traditional laptops in the $800-$900 range, the dv7-6163us gives you a fair number of the perks at a significantly lower price.

Intel HD Graphics 3000: Integrated graphics card in the Intel Sandy Bridge processors (Core ix-2xxx). The HD 3000 is the faster (internally GT2 called) version with 12 Execution Units (EUs).
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.
2630QM: Fast Quad-core processor based on the Sandy Bridge architecture with an integrated graphics card and dual-channel DDR3 memory controller. » Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
