Hewlett Packard's popular Pavilion DV6000t has been one of the best selling laptops of 2006. No wonder - it's loaded with features including a core 2 duo processor and is available at a price that won't rival the military budget of a third-world country.

Image of Hewlett Packard's Pavilion DV6000tWe do a lotof drooling here at Laptopical. We review these uber businesslaptops that run a couple of grand, or an extraterrestrial gamingpuppy that goes for double that. We know we may never get ourpaws permanently on these machines. But we get excitednevertheless. It's finally nice to drool over a laptop that wecould actually, maybe, one day own.
Here I amtalking about the HP Paviliondv6000t, a truly affordable high-powered notebook at a price range of only $800 to $1,200.For that solid but reasonable chunk of change, you can get onefine-looking piece of machinery, with subtle curves, anattractive buffed lid and an attentive comfortable interface.

And this HP notebook is rather slim too. With a 15.4 inch screen andloaded to bear with ports and slots, the Pavilion dv6000t weighsonly slightly more than 6 pounds. But the Pavilion dv6000t isworth its weight in semiconductors.

With 1 GB of RAM, the 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T7400 processor,and a NVIDIA GeForce Go 7400 graphics chip with 128 MB ofdedicated RAM and 128 of shared RAM, the Pavilion dv6000t canhandle whatever your average user can throw at it. The Paviliondv6000t won't be able to give you a cutting edge gamingexperience. But as I said before, those laptops are in adifferent ballpark. And if you can't afford to entertain thatballpark, you need to get over it.

Looking at the Pavilion dv6000t will help. Its glossy displaywith WXGA LCD resolution isn't the highest out there-it is at1280x800 at its highest setting-but it is dressed to impressnonetheless. And the built-in Altec Lansing set of speakersproduce as good a sound as you'll find in a laptop. (Thebuilt-in camera is fun too.)

With all these features available at an affordable price, it's not difficult to see why the DV6000t has been one of the best selling multimedia laptops of 2006.

    I liked it until it started shutting down as soon as I took the cord out and then broke 1 year and 4 months after I bought, which means it was 4 months after the warranty expired :S
