The HP Pavilion dv6 1230us which is valued at $799.99 is an amalgamation of two laptops. First off, it’s a meek laptop with enough processing power to function with the basic tasks expected of an entertainment laptop. Secondly, it features the entire ostentatious exterior that has become the trademark of all HP’s Pavilion line of laptops. It has an attractive black lacquered finish and is interiorly designed using silver circles that tend to bubble towards the laptop’s corner. Although the shiny black design picks up fingerprints easily, it has an overall cool effect.

The HP Pavilion dv6 1230us has a gigantic 12-cell lithium-ion battery, making the laptop a bit heavy as it weighs 7.1 pounds although when compared to laptops like Aspire 6930G-6723 (7.2 pounds) and Gateway MC7803u (7.7 pounds), its lighter and more attractive. The laptop’s Brightview Infinity 16:9 widescreen measures 15.6”, with a resolution of 1366 x 768px., has a DVD +/- R/RW drive, a card reader and a mini remote that comes in handy when you want to connect the laptop to a TV set to show videos or/and photos. It also features 4 USB ports, a VGA port, HDMI port and an Express Card slot.
For light duty tasks such as word processing, watching streaming video and browsing, the HP Pavilion dv6 1230us is a capable machine but when compared to other multimedia laptops, it tends to be somewhat underpowered and weak as it features a 2.1 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P6500 CPU. The 12-cell battery has a double battery life if compared to other laptops of the same class. In most cases, the laptop is bought with a 2 year warranty.
