thanks for the honest answer. but the design (dv6) poison me.....especially at the glowing logo and the light around the touchpad. haha
coz i heard many issues about the Nseries.
if dv6 have an i5 and price below 3k i will get it 1st.

thanks all. i have to think about it again and wait for a few weeks, wanna study back for the Nseries and dv6. huhu

BTW, If you are going for DV6, I would recommend DV6-6114TX which is almost the same as DV6-6001Tx. The only difference is 6114Tx has blu ray drive and 6001Tx has only optical drive.

Hi all, can anyone tell me why is DV6-6001 better than N53SN?
I mean surely some of you consider both of this before, what is the 'thing' that makes you choose the laptop you have right now given that both laptop have their pros and cons?

well, i actually like the dv6 cos of the graphics...
if got i5, maybe i ll get it.. most i5 laptops dont have strong graphics, ( which i think I might need)

Maybe i-5 processor cant support latest mid-end graphic cards like GT 555 or AMD 6770?

i5 can support, even i3 can..
It just the matter of the company provide those configuration or not..

Le design, le bigger hdd and le graphic. 3DMark scores with some overclocking which is my default clock for nightime.

one advice, don't go full blast your audio. teehee.

look at the 46th second it has rubber keys which look really nice. does tx models have this tooo?

looks the same like the tx model

yay!!! im going to buy one tommorowww!
the model is dv6-6011tx

6001tx is not available here and there is 6080ee model which is approximately RM 660 more. was just wondering what the difference was coz the only spec difference is 6011tx has 4gb ram and 640HDD and 6080ee has 6gb ram and 750HDD.
hoping to get a 4gb ram upgrade

No problems with Windows 7, and my virtual machines are running fine.

No problems whatsoever, except that initial slow hard drive problem that has disappeared.



I'm one of the ones that considered the N53SN as well and I chose the dv6 mainly because of reevephon's notebook temperature review. I am very particular about heat after having heat-related issues cause damage to almost every single one of my previous notebooks and I was very much attracted by the good temperatures shown in his review, along with the conventional layout of vents underneath compared to the N53 series.

The second reason I picked the dv6 was bang for buck. For more or less the same price as the N53Sv, I get a better GPU and a larger hard drive.

Third, the dv6 has smaller dimensions than the N53 series, which is humongous. I was very surprised when I first saw the N53Sv, because I couldn't quite believe that it needed to be that big.

Lastly, there were just so many reports of problems with the N53 series that it really put me off buying it. I've always liked ASUS' notebooks and how problem-free they usually are, but something seemed to have gone wrong somewhere with the N53 series.

Of course, there are some features of the N53Sv that I wish the dv6 had. First and foremost is the 4 RAM slots; I like the idea of having 16GB on the tap without having to buy expensive 8GB DDR3 sticks like you would have to with the newer dv6-61xx series. You can never have too much RAM.

Second is nVidia's Optimus. Yes, AMD has its own implementation of switchable graphics, but it's fiddly and not seamless, relying on manual switching between the Intel HD 3000 and the Radeon 6770. The latest AMD Catalyst update includes an attempt to approach Optimus' ease of use in terms of auto-select, but I can never seem to get it to remember which programs use what settings. Not HP's fault, but seriously, how hard could it be to incorporate a check against a list of which GPU the user prefers a particular program use?

Third is the N53 series' implementation of a full keyboard with numpad. I prefer that the N53 series' arrow keys are not shrunk and are easier to find.

Is the metal finish available ? It says here in the http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/my/en/ho/WF...54-5082212.html but not sure how to get it.

And has anyone buy through the hotline 1800 88 4889 ? Any diff than buying online ? Maybe more discount whatsoever...

can someone tell me the difference between Asian (tx) models and European (ee) models, there is a huge price difference for the same specs!!

even if you buy from Malaysia and Singapore also got price gap for the similar specs, therefore it is normal that there is a price gap between Malaysia and European machines since their cost of living is much more expensive

u got the point bro.
i like where u diffrent this two laptop.

-dimension
-bloatwares
-heat issue
problms

now i know whatt laptop i wanna get . thank ya!!!

Since imma N53SN owners i just had to reply
I know that N53SN is slightly longer in 2-3inch but some ppl prefer bigger screen and some ppl prefer smaller screen. Just pointing it out

Anyway, the reported problems are not that serious at all. All those problems can be fix with a few tweaks. The only serious problems appears when some stupid shop gave free 4gb ram which is not compatible with the default ram. When users insists that the shop change it, they said no stock on Kingston or Corssair ram . Honestly, i think most shop have Kingston ram

For the arrowkeys, most ppl are fine with it. Anyone can get use to a keyboard in just few days. It just take time to adjust.

As for Auto switching, theres some good news.....might be bad for some, AMD is going auto!!! . It is called AMD PowerXPress 4.0 aka BACON(short for "Bus Alive Chip Off Now!" for now). Most probably AMD will release an update for ur GPU...or it might only be available for future GPU

gonna be joining the dv6 owners lounge soon by next week, guys.. hopefully.

Getting that dv6-6001TX with those headphones next week huzzah
