the HP dv6-6017tx, 6121tx, 6140tx and dv6-6165tx thread

[ParaXite]

For guys who worry about temperatures here is my temp log:

HP dv6 6165tx:

All readings are with the CoolerMaster Notepal X Cooling Pad and Ambient temperature of 35-38°C. Readings recorded with HW Monitor.

- And yeah playing games on "Coolest Mode" makes sense because most games don't need to use the i7's processing power to the max. They rely on the GPU for most of their work. So using coolest mode will hardly affect your FPS in most games on AC power.

- Im going to get extended warranty and Im going to play regardless of the temps. If anything conks out it is covered in the warranty.

My webcam replaced.. hp service is awesome
I rated 7/10 for the service but that hp guy beg me for 10 minutes for me, I gave him 9/10.
There was a cup of dust in the fan area.. he blew off all with a blower, noise get less.
Bluetooth is still not working, he said to recover windows and use recovery disc or press f11 in booting to reinstall, this is the only was to solve this error hardware is fine as it can recognise devices around.
Should I use recover or not? my whole data, games, softwares of C: drive will be lost.

Everytime I format my laptop I loose all the passwords stored in Simple pass. Does anyone know where Simple pass stores those passwords?

On a different note... visiting this forum after many days... Good to see some new members. AFAIK new dv6 are coming with ivy bridge and ATI 7xxx cards. So anyone planning to buy please wait for a month or two if you can.

Open simplepass and in the settings you will find the option to import or export your identity. Just give a password, and keep the exported file somewhere safe. When you format the laptop, just import the file.

Take a backup on a external hard-disk or DVDs and then use recovery. If you cannot get a external hdd and have too much data for DVDs then just backup essential files to a few DVDs and then use recovery.

[rider]

My friend is looking for a gaming laptop : I suggested mine HP DV6 6165tx as it has ATI HD6770 graphic card vs the Nvidia GT630 on HP DV6 7010tx, The only plus in it is 3rd gen Intel Core i Processor and subwoofer, is there any battery life increase in them? which one is better overall?

[pranavgautam67]

Asus is cheaper, but for 3-4k more you get slightly better processor, USB 3.0 ports, more RAM, and Beats audio. And HP also gives 1 year ADP with its laptops.

I don't think there would such a difference in battery life both processors consume same 45W power and having the same 6-cell battery.
If gaming is the main priority, go with 6165tx. And IMO he should wait for a month, if he can because dell refreshing XPS lineup and Asus K series with new ivy bridges.

In this budget of about 30k I would recommend you to get a decent desktop. Virtualization require high performance and cooling facility. Personally, I don't suggest anyone to get AMD processing laptop. AMD A6-3400M is a quad core but its performance compete with old Intel core2duo (dual core) processors, so very bad for virtulization. Almost 95% laptops sales nowdays is of intel processors.

dv6 6165Tx is out of stock!!!
is it replaced by dv6 7000 series??

If you are interested to buy a core-i5 laptop, the new dv6-7012tx is better for you, its has GT 630M 2GB graphic card which is better than HD 6490M of previous model dv6-6154tx. It would costs you around 50k in Delhi.
But the new dv6-7000 series' ivy bridge core-i7 comes with same GT 630M 2GB, that is worse than HD 6770M. If your main motive is gaming, buy the old dv6-6165tx asap, it's available in some shops. Or IMO wait for a month or so Dell and Asus refreshing new laptop series with ivy bridge processors and better graphics.

[shitz7]

Hey plz can u give me a short review of difference b/w them?

6165tx is available in chandigarh..
You hav two options either go for 6165 or 6140..
Diff being the processor clock(2-2.)2,hdd(500-750),graphic card(1gb-2gb)
Clock speed and graphic memory doesnt make much diff.

I'd prefer 6140..as it is 6k cheap..50000/-
Jalandhar has a croma store...google it..
6140 is only available at croma..
