(5 stars) - 1 Day Delivery and up and running in under 30 minutes
I just ordered this yesterday and am up and running. Win7 loads with 60 sec unlike my older HP with XP which now takes anywhere from 3 to 5 minutes. the 12 cell battery is hard to find in a stock configuration, so that, plue 4GB of DDR3, and a 7200rmp hard drive, for this price is what made me buy. I'd like a firewire port too but I see plenty of USB firewire to USB adapters on Amazon. I setup the WIFI as part of the initial boot up (just entered my SSID/code number for my WiFi Lan), then loaded Microsoft Office and Vizio in about 10 minutes and let them register online. Keyboard has a nice feel, typical of HP laptops, and I'll add info to this review after doing some video editing with Pinnacle 9 Plus, Ulead and Sony Vegas. I'm sure I'll want to Upgrade my DDR3 to 8GB so appreciate any suggestions/stats/prices anyone has on that. For now I'm very happy to the quality and features at this price which was impossible to find at another trusted site or store. Now to figure out that $50 rebate!

(4 stars) - Good deal, a couple of drawbacks
Purchased the DV6-1350US.

Pros:
Price seems to change weekly on Amazon, but if you can get it at the lower price, it is a good deal.
Design, features, speed are all good.
Windows 7, so far so good.
Battery life good with extended battery.

Cons:
Extended battery sticks out of the bottom and makes it a little more bulky.
No firewire port (for this model).

(5 stars) - Fully Loaded Laptop at a Great Price
I decided it was time to upgrade my laptop and looked for several weeks for the right combination of price, hard drive, RAM, Bluetooth, battery, numeric keypad, etc. This laptop has it all. I thought my replacement laptop would be a second Mac since I bought a Mac for my wife six months ago. However with Windows 7 getting good reviews and a price one-third of the cost of an "equivalent" Mac, my decision was what PC did I want. The DV6-1350 has all the features I was looking for including the new DDR3 RAM instead of DDR2 and Bluetooth. I also like having the 12 cell battery pack attached. The extra "bump" on the bottom doesn't bother me. Ergonomically the keyboard is great. My last laptop was an HP and I am pleased with the reliability. I am really liking Windows 7 in it's functionality. It starts up almost instantly from sleep mode. This is great laptop at a very good price.
