Just got the DV6 without Beats headphone & blu-ray drive at RM 2.9k. The machine not really as fast as I would expect it to be.

If I install the latest AMD Catalyst driver from the AMD website, will I still be able to switch to Intel HD graphics based on demand?

yes, but don't remove the hp driver.. just install on top of it.

Will it work if just install on the existing AMD drivers? From my experience installing this way usually resulted in an un-usable screen.

Anyone know how to disable the glowing HP logo at the lid? Sometimes I left the laptop turned on overnight, so the glowing logo is a little too bright.

It is quite true that this DV6 (even with only basic stuffs installed) does lag for no particular reasons. I do not expect such amazingly spec-ed unit sufferring from this

New members here.

DV6-6001TX (RM3099 from PCDEPOT). Still learning and trying to familiar with 15" lappy.

BTW, about the slow USB speed, isn't HM65 was recalled due to degrading USB connection?Well, that's what I read before this.

Should SATA, not USB

its in the 1st page

Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4.
when installing MS Windows SDK for Win7. At installation option screen, untick everything except Windows Performance Toolkit under Common Utilities.

open start menu and run Command Prompt as Administrator. Type or copy paste this cmd into Command Prompt.

CODE
xbootmgr -trace boot -prepSystem -verboseReadyBoot

I just tried this, everything went well except until running the 6x boot times. First boot is fine but subsequent boots up to fourth time is taking very long each interval. Then on the fifth boot, it pops up that the program is taking too long and aborted (or something like that).

Any idea why HP latest DV6 variant had discontinued the ATI 6770M and replaced with 6490M? Although the i7 processor had been updated but I consider this as downgrade.
