$796 HP Pavilion DV6-6136TX Laptop - i7 2630, ATI 2GB DDR5 Graphics Card, 4 GB RAM, 640GB HHD

190

HN has this sweet deal for $796, its the same laptop as the deal going around from shoppingexpress except the 4GB ram, blue-ray player, the $55 price difference (cheaper)& $150 worth of Freebies or Office 2010 Student.
i guess if you're really intent on getting 8GB ram you can always just buy a 4GB stick of DDR3 1333Mhz RAM for 30 bucks and stick it into the empty slot.
It comes with a permanent (not a trail) genuine free copy of Office 2010 student (1 user)!
either way the main reason i like this deal is for the 2 GB of DDR5 switchable graphics card. this is the first time i've seem a laptop with 2gb dd5 gc under $800 - pickup.
i bought the one from shoppingexpress just a few days ago and i've got absolutely no regrets what so ever, it a very nice piece of tech.
Some HN stores are giving customers the option to choose between the office 2010 or $150 worth of stuff from their store. so free HDD's, monitors, games ect would make a it an ever nicer deal.
23rd of October is the last day for this offer

  • is this a metal frame one?

    • as far i can tell its got a metal cover, palm rest, and top frame but the bottom is the usual hard plastic which in a way makes sense as you would want the metal on the bottom cause it would conduct the heat to you lap.

  • "it is exactly the same as the other deal going around from shoppingexpress except the 4GB ram and the $55 price difference"

    Is that right? So otherwise 100% identical?

    • +1

      Most of the Pavilion DV 6 's have very similar specs and they are made with similar components. some have 1 gb rrd5 some have 2, some have larger HDD's, some higher screen resolution some lower, some with energy saving processors etc but for a given price range they are usually very similar. so except for the ram and blue ray player its exactly the same laptop

  • The harvey norman website says it comes with Microsoft Office. That makes it an even better deal than the 6146TX deal. What is the difference between 6136TX and 6146TX? Can't imagine having a different model number with everything the same.

    $796

      I think Blu-ray ROM is on the 6146TX

      Which is handy if you want to hook this guy up to your HDTV

  • +2

    i'll put the full specs up if you guys want, you can go compare it yourselves the laptop is exactly the same except the 4 RAM and Blue ray player. though you get the free office student with HarveyNorman

    I would happily pay $25 more ($55 saving - $30 for 4gb of RAM) not to shop at Harvey Norman.

    Also according to the specs the DV6-6136TX's Optical Drive Type = DVD Super Multi and not Blu-ray like the DV6-6146TX.

    Official HP specs here:
    http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/au/en/ho/WF06b/321957-321957-…

    The deals from Shopping Express and IT Spot for the DV6-6146TX looks much better than the HN deal.

  • The specs show Microsoft 2010 Starter edition.
    From http://www.microsoft.com/oem/en/products/office/pages/office…
    It has
    1. Limited-functionality versions of Word and Excel
    2. No PowerPoint, Outlook, or OneNote
    3. Includes advertising
    And most people
    4. Purchase Product Key to activate full-featured Office software within a short period of time.

    There are also a munber of different versions of Office, so it is wise to check if it has the functionality you require.

    • The starter edition is what comes with the laptop. Pretty sure the "Special Offer Free Microsoft Office With Your Computer Purchase!" will be Harvey Norman throwing in a free home edition.

      • i just checked now they said it was Office 2010 student for 1 user

  • good deal

  • No usb 3.0 x 2 in this

    • It does have 2 USB 3.0 ports on the left side

      • Went to jb yesterday. It only had 2.0 usb. They were not blue like 3.0 ones are normally.
        Same model.

        But $400 more haha.

  • $150 worth of stuff from their store.
    This is good!
