i know where got.... Harvey norman in pavillion, KL... beside Apple epicentre..... just saw it yesterday.. but i saw display unit only.. duno bout stock

but to be honest.. it doesnt worth that much.... i rather get the new 6c19tx which have better processor + bigger HDD capacity for RM3099 (HP online store) than buying that 3.5k 6001tx with beats

This post has been edited by vincentlaw: Dec 25 2011, 03:31 PM

if 6001tx bundle for 3.1k or 3.2k then wouldn't disagree.. but 3.5k for bundle is too much... the headset can get it 500 now? means 3k for the laptop.. with RM100 more can get upgrade graphic card + processor...

Processor wise.... 3.0ghz Dual core needed is written...... but dont forget 2670QM is quad core. Furthermore it can boost up to 3.1GHz with the turbo boost technology... follow video for better understanding.. anyway not sure DC universe can share its load

you can watch all the related

Memory wise.... you have 4gb with stock purchase hardware of DV6..... pretty sure u will want to add another 1x 4gb which is less than RM60... so no problem at all

Graphic card wise... nvidia 8800GTX is rank #75 from the chart in the following link below... however ATI 6770M is at rank #69, definitely good enough to run that..... or even 7690M XT (slightly better than 6770M), not in the list yet
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphi...List.844.0.html

Harddisk... its the matter of faster or slower loading... if u feel like u cant wait or u need faster.. upgrade to hybrid HDD or even SSD if u can bare the cost + small capacity

for this game, if i were u and if i have this dv6 6001tx or 6c19tx, i will probably to worry about is internet latency, as it is well known bad latency in malaysia, unless u are utilizing Unifi (good for now until it bcom more common or more ppl use it) or some tunneling service.... instead of the hardware requirement

anyway... somehow i found the requirement of this game is much lesser than what u posted here
hope it helps

depends u wanna add another ~rm190 for extra 2 years warranty or u wanna bet for your luck for nothing wrong on 2nd and 3rd year... else 1 screen will cost u maybe rm800, 1 mobo cost u another rm800... 2 main thing which is the most common problem. both amount is just a rough figure, dont assume its accurate, but do expect its about that expensive

that why i said either... ops maybe its not clear... but im replying to his msg about 'can live without extended warranty'. suppose its understood
- bet his/her luck
- but a local model laptop and get extended warranty....

should i delete the recovery partition? because sooner or later all the driver/software will be outdated..... serve less purpose unless only for windows... but i got my windows disc already....

what about the HP tool drive? felt like trashing it too

or anyone know how to hide the drive (not remove)

ahhh... seems that my graphic card is stuck with the Intel HD3000 all the way now even i set it to high performance in switchable graphic setting.....

problem persist even i set 'FIXED' in bios and then 'PERFORMANCE' in the switchable graphic setting

wat is the step by step to uninstall/reinstall everythg? the proper way? what to uninstall and wat to install?

i start to hate ATI/AMD more now...

World of Warcraft

Hmmm anyway i've fried uninstall ATI --> use ATIman uninstaller --> install back the ATI 7690M + HD3000 bundle driver (330MB+) from HP.... and it seems to be fixed now... thanks anyway

try with the latest CPU-Z...... ver 1.59

+1 to you comment

I have opinion on top of that. Indeed higher resolution screen will be great and a bigger screensize would be great but all back to how the user want it to be.

1. higher native resolution, Full HD, is best bet in this case IF user do it the CAD job on laptop screen (means he need mobility while doing CAD work). Else it can be achieve by having and external 23" FHD monitor if he do CAD work at home only and yet still want a laptop for other purpose to use as mobile.

2. bigger screen, 15" vs 17", 17" indeed better and less strain on eye, but still 17" means very little mobility, and for my personal opinion, why don't just get a desktop if its means to replace a real desktop (personally dont prefer 17" as i rather get a real desktop than 17" coz it really defeat most of the purpose of a laptop). And 17" laptop is really not mobile at all (or i should say minimal mobility)... BIG and HEAVY...

So as a conclusion of my personal opinion, i'll get either
- get any 15" laptop which have FHD, if want a nicer screen then go for better monitor range, example Envy FHD (instead of Pavillion FHD) = if wanna do most of the work on mobile
- get any 15" laptop, dont need to be full HD screen, and get a nice 23" IPS external monitor = if only work at home and still want mobile for surfing or other presentation purpose
- get a desktop with 23" IPS monitor = if only want it for work and dont need mobility

1 final thing is have to consider is price
therefore
- price vs mobility vs screensize vs screen resolution vs overall specs vs usage

anyway just my opinion.... as this is very individual taste/thinking/mindset... no right and wrong
