For HP Dv6-6001Tx without beats@RM3k, find this guy: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&hl=marcus20125

Well, do take note that Asus comes with 2 years international warranty; whereas HP only one (unless you want to fork out some more money to extend the warranty)...
The choice is pretty obvious lol...
Performance - Dv6
Warranty - N55Sf

and since HP has decided to quit its PC business.. its hard to say what the future holds

Well, for starters, the stock AMD 6630 has some problems playing The Sims 3
And Bacon will ask you each time you start a new game/ software on whether you want to use the dedicated GPU or integrated one... the thing is, its supposed to remember the settings so the next time you open the game/ software, it won't ask you again... but the time I tried, Bacon seemed to "forget" my settings, so its rather annoying
But that was quite some time ago, hopefully the problem has been solved already

Okay, but just to confirm, hp dv6114tx has no known problems or issues with its parts or software? Maybe i'll go with hp after all as i've had no problems with maintaining my gadgets in good conditions all along.

And what might be the consequences of hp quitting its pc business on hp consumers?

Nope
Closest would be the Lenovo Y570 with slightly poorer GPU performance, and a slightly lower resolution screen. haha
The i5 variant of the N55sf is worth it imho if you're okay with the design 

How was the design, it looks OK for me.

Eh, one thing to update you guys - the mic on Lenovo G470 is positioned in a rather weird position and it has a little volume problem

Its not a bad model for the price, but it doesn't have USB3.0 and Nvidia Optimus
