Well there's a SB recall.. let's hope this model isn't affected.

All Sandy Bridge notebooks are affected lah..

Not all, only 6 series has been said to be affected. Microsoft did not said all.

Ha, all sandy bridge notebooks come with 6-series chipset, be it HM65 (non-RAID) or HM67 (RAID) ..

What does microsoft have to do with this?

it only afftect sata II ports from port 2 onwards

laptops which have 2 ports only 0 and 1 not affeted

Yay! waiting for you review!!

Problem is we don't know whether both HDD & ODD use port 0 & 1. HDD normally is at port 0, but ODD normally use port 2. Also some notebook use eSATA which also connect to on board SATA controller...

Sorry, was thinking about Microsoft software when I typed LOL! I meant Intel.

who uses odd anyway hdd wont affect u use 2 hdds

after saw this youtube review i like the design ALOT!

though this is not the dv6 4003tx but i think the design is just same.

btw, does it come with back-lid keyboard like the youtube review one?
It will be real cool if this model got backlid keyboard!

Lol u never seen the real thing before? the first generation core-i dv6 already using this design lar..

It's the thing I have been emphasizing too... Sweet-slim-macbook-like design LOL

say no to HP or compaq..... heat issuue yet still haven solve till now ... i suggest take lenovo Y560P same spec as the hp dv6 with 750GB HDD but no BD-RW

What the heck do u mean by heat issues anyways? U guys should stop bashing n throwing out statements without any proper proofs or statements.. If you're referring older models, this is called an Blind Assumption.. Previous model with totally different specs doesn't mean the new one is the same.. It's like how ppl complain AMD have heating issues bla bla bla, the new recent ones are not exactly the same at all...

If you have followed this thread, u would see that I have posted a link to NBR Forum where there is a thread with all the Dv6 SB users, none of them even complained about the heating issues, most complained about the trackpad only...
Currently, the idle higher is normally because AMD haven't released the drivers for their Dynamic switchable graphics yet, so it's running HD6570 GDDR5 all the time, of course it would be slightly hotter @.@

Y560P much lower spec my fren... It's GDDR3 HD6570 on Y560p but GDDR5 HD6570 on dv6 xD..

At least 2-3k difference in 3DMark06... Approximately around 5-10 FPS difference games? =P

HP is much lighter, slimmer too... I would like someone to tell me what laptop is there with Blu-Ray and GDDR5 GPU @Rm3299... If you could, I would keep quiet.... The same model is selling much more expensive in both USA n SG.. We should be grateful...

I think you meant ATI and not AMD.

AMD bought over ATI and dropped the ATI branding.

Thanks, then I'm outdated and wrong.

u can buy one and test ur self .. the heat issue still persists good also not used cos most my customer complaint abt it . yes the 6570 is hotter but the dv6 qc could cos the GC break down easily ... not like lenovo Y560P .... the bottom base still dun have enough vent for hot air to flow out .. only nice but QC is nono .... buy to believe if not trust .. mayb u are the lucky one to stand 1 year or two ... ddr3 or dd5 for vram so ?? for wat i noe there is their market strategy methold i belive watever ddr version both also can perform very well .. but this is not the issue the issue still at the heat and qc on the hp or compaq .. still not solve yet .....

Just got this laptop today. Well didn't know of the SB chip issue till i viewed lowyat. But it dosent seems to be a great issue for me i guess.

ANYWAYS, how to do a clean up, to remove all the unnecessary program and also how do i do a recovery backup?

Also, what program to download to view temperatures?
