A Look at the New HP Pavillion dv6 and dv7

"The dv6 and dv7 were designed using HP’s MUSE (Materials, Usability, Sensory appeal, and Experience) philosophy, and incorporate a variety of metals, plastics, and features designed to increase usability. They will feature Intel second-gen Core processors and AMD Radeon 6000 graphics, and each will sport four speakers with Beats audio technology (previously reserved for the premium Envy line)."

The iPad 2 may be getting all the attention lately, but laptops are still around and coming out with updates. A refresh of the HP Pavillion dv series brings them up to date with current generation hardware. Aside from the usual, the addition of four speakers is nice. The larger laptops definitely are getting better sound which makes sense since more people are using their computers for entertainment purposes and tinny just is not cutting it. What I find most interesting is that they have added a fingerprint reader.

Having used it in the past, I can say that fingerprint logins for passwords does make things much easier. Instead of having to remember dozens of passwords, the computer all manages it for you. There are password management programs that can do the same thing, but they need a password too, and I am lazy.

Does the new Pavillions interest you or are laptops/notebooks old news and not worth considering anymore?
