By Well, while the Pavilion DV6 and DV7 do bring HP laptops closer to modern times, they do it for the lower cost market.
This is because HP has been offering similar features as these to on its Envy lineup. Trouble is, the Envy stuff is a lot pricier than the DV6 and DV7.
Getting back to those with more sense than money the HP Pavilion DV6 and DV7 have some interesting stuff taken from their bigger brothers.
The technology on offer here includes Intel’s new Sandy Bridge platform, complete with Intel’s i5 and i7 multi core processors and USB 3.0 capability.

The other gems included in the spec sheet of the HP Pavilion DV6 as well as the DV7 line up BluRay as an option for the optical drive.
Naturally, if you’re going to use BluRay disks you’re probably going to be interested in a lot of storage therefore Hewlett Packard are ready to shove up to 2 TB of hard drives into these laptops.
That sort of stuff isn’t revolutionary, the real “crown jewels” of HP laptop tech that’s copied off the Envy lineup is made up of Beats Audio speakers, a High Definition webcam and CoolSense technology.
Couple that with wildly refreshed, far improved looks and it’s easy to make a point for buying one of these HP Pavilion DV6 or DV7 laptops.

When it comes to actually looking at the pricing for these toys, you need at least $750 for the 15.6 inch screened DV6 while the 17.3 inch DV7 starts at $1000.
Come to think about it, my new desktop came in at about 750 dollars but it isn’t really portable. On my plus side, my desktop does come with a seriously competitive video card.
The DV6 and DV7 both have to “make due” with the ATI AMD Radeon 6000M graphics.
If your enthusiasm hasn’t died yet, I’m afraid I still have a blow to give you, namely availability. Neither of these laptops will hit the market until March.
