HP Pavilion dv6t gets reviewed: nice for the price, but full of crapware
It's not a bad time to be a budget-minded shopper on the hunt for a full-size laptop -- you've got a tons of nice options in the $600 - $1,000 range, and it sounds like HP's recently-revised dv6t is a strong competitor. PC Mag just took the 16-inch machine for a spin and came back favorably impressed, with cheers for great keyboard and included numeric keypad, light weight, and HDMI output. Sadly, a host of bundled crapware put a significant load on the 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo and the integrated graphics were expectedly lame, but for $750 after rebate, you might want to add this one to your list.

HP Pavilion dv6t laptop gets a quiet upgrade, new paint job
HP just dished out a quiet upgrade to its dv7t gaming laptop last month, and it now looks like it's done the same with its slightly more modest Pavilion dv6t, which gets some sprucing up inside and out. That includes your choice of 512MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4530 or 1GB HD 4650 graphics, which have edged out the previous NVIDIA options, although the rest of the specs seem to have remained largely untouched, including the usual range of Core 2 Duo processors, up to 8GB of RAM, a max 500GB hard drive, and an unfortunately lackluster 1366 x 768 resolution on that 16-inch display. You can also now get the laptop in your choice of Espresso Black or Moonlight White color schemes, although there seems to be a $25 premium over the $679.99 base price for the latter option (pictured above).[Thanks, Plasma]
