As with any low-cost option, there are a few quirks, mostly with the input devices. The Synaptics Clickpad is genuinely annoying, but easy to get used to. No tap zones, so I remapped the left button to a middle-click to get that functionality. The Touchpad Disable Zone keeps the cursor from moving every time you try to click. The keyboard is missing number pad access, even with the Fn key, so no Alt-codes are available.

I have seen this laptop at Staples for some time and waited for it to go down in price. I picked one up for $469 and say it is an excellent buy. It is true that the touchpad is annoying but it is easy to get used to or worst case, get a mouse. For under $600, you can get an AMD phenom dual core CPU (3.0 GhZ, 2mb L2 cache) along with a decent integrated graphics card (ATI Radeon 4250). Has 4GB DDR3 RAM and a 500GB hdd. The webcam is decent for a built-in unit and the DVD burner is standard.Look, I work on PCs and I ran benchmark tests on this PC and it outperforms mobile Intel i3 and even certain i5 processors with a better graphics card.
tested it out, and found out that almost every major game can be played on this PC. This can play anything from Civ V to Mass Effect 2 & KOTOR. For integrated graphics, it is above average.
Overall, this is a great laptop with many features. Good for making/editing videos, multi-tasking, listening to music, editing photos, watching HD video, and playing mainstream games.
*UPDATE*
I just upgraded it to 8GB of RAM. Does it need it? No. I did it because I could and it made things much better. I quickly became used to the touchpad and it runs fine. The only negative I see is that the plastic housing is a little loose on the front right corner. I'll keep an eye on it but other than that it's great.

bought this a couple of days ago and it's an excellent for it's price range. it's fast and quiet and nice and bright screen. yes, the touchpad is touchy but we're planning on getting a wireless mouse for it anyways since we've never liked touchpads in general. plus right now hp is offering 50 dollars mail-in rebate until june 2011 which makes this even sweeter.Honest reviews on HP Pavilion dv6-3210us 15.6-Inch Entertainment Notebook PC - Silver
I have owned this laptop for several weeks now. I purchased a wireless mouse to use with it and it works great! (I never liked using the built-in pad) This laptop replaces an older Toshiba that was a great laptop. This one is faster, lighter, and thinner. The sound is very good for a laptop. My only complaint is that the screen has no contrast adjustment and when I got it the picture quality was poor.(surprising to me since this is billed as an "entertainment" laptop) And yes, I checked the resolution, etc. Everything looked kind of washed out, and not at all clear. I was ready to return it. But now, after going through the whole color adjustment process (see owners manual) the picture is a lot better but still not great (my old toshiba had a better picture from day 1). But I am keeping it for its' good qualities! It's a good laptop for ~ $500, and will hopefully last a while!Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for HP Pavilion dv6-3210us 15.6-Inch Entertainment Notebook PC - Silver
I purchased mine about 2 weeks ago. Haven't had a problem. Upgraded from a Netbook for school work. Very good price. Good graphics, very fast.
