Any word on replacement models? I saw in the site that they discontinued the series

I'd go out and look for a dv6205tx asap cept I have to wait on my parents to help me pay for it...

Yea, I'm gonna wait... Just hope it'll be around soon cuz the dv6205tx is perfect for me as far as specs/price/appearance.

I like how the dv6205 has an integrated webcam and a dedicated gfx card... That's part of what I was looking for specwise... otherwise I'd probably have more choices given the price range of 4k

I saw the dv8302tx and mmm, that gfx card looks nice-- but I don't think it comes with a webcam (does it?) and 17" inch is wayyy too big. Looking for 15.4" at most as far as monitor size goes.

The A8Jr- is nice, tho... Might end up getting one of those instead. We'll see hehe, I still have 2 months to decide Btw, does it come with Vista or XP at 4.1k rm?

I have a dv6205tx!

Very happy so far, everything going smoothly. I notice a loud whirring sound that turns on and off from time to time though-- is that the harddrive? It turns on at seemingly random times so I can't be too sure...

I haven't had problems with the webcam so far... only thing I noticed is that when I first turn it on, it'll be dark, then brighten as it adjusts to the lighting-- and a few seconds later it'll flicker back to dark and bright again.

Oh nice, thanks

I never got cd's with my laptop... how much did you pay for them? And would I still be able to order some?

Been having problems with installing games... I keep getting crc errors. I poked around the net a bit and it seems I'm not alone in my problem (lots of people with the same games have problems too).

Those boards usually say that it's either the disks, my optical drive or incompatible ram that's the problem...

Anyone getting similar issues? I can run cds/dvd's on it fine, and haven't had problems with installers (could install Diablo2 fine with a dvd) until this last batch of games I tried to install. Should I send it in for repair? I have no other dvd-capable drives at home atm so there's no way for me to check if the disks work there

Well, my problem isn't reading the disks... I've been able to read most so far, cept a few that also don't work on other dvd readers. I've been getting crc errors mid-installation for all the games complaining about different files, and while I can just hit ignore and finish the installation... well, my games would have missing files and I guess they won't run perfectly.

Maybe it's the batch, I bought them all from the same place.

Should I try and return the disks in exchange for others? I just don't know if the guy will believe that all of them don't work for me, but at the same time what a waste of money

I've noticed that whenever I turn my laptop on after a long period of inactivity (I was at work for about 9 hrs) I'd find the battery depleted to about 92-94%, despite always running on ac power. Is this normal? Doesn't seem so...

Beyond--- it's turned off. Complete shut down. That's why I'm unsure as to why the battery depletes.

Kelvin-- the 6205tx was replaced by 6227tx recently, but it's got the same specs and cost the same price. The only difference is a slightly faster processor, and yes, it does have the hp imprint (black and silver, whereas the Compaqs are just a charcoal gray). It costs around 3999--- and the freebies that come with it is up to your bargaining skills.

What do you mean by that, exactly?

What was wrong with your dvd drive? Mine appears to be acting funny as well...

A request regarding the dv6000 bar... move the text layer up top

I don't have problems with my boot up and shutdown times... it takes me very, very little time to get into the login page, and just a few seconds to get into my desktop. I didn't time it but it feels faster than my XP pcs. Sometimes it'd take a bit longer before I can actually get on Firefox and start browsing or whatever, but that's just a handful of seconds again (as all the start on Windows stuff load up I suppose).

Shutting down doesn't take me a long time, either. But I tried logging off once and I noticed that when I came back 30-40 minutes later it was STILL logging off, so I had no choice but to force it to restart. And when I played with my cousins's Compaq V3000 series pc (not sure which model exactly) when she first got it in February, it took absolutely forever to log off or shut down or whatever (30 mins waiting +! I'd usually just manually kill it off). I wonder if she's gotten that fixed yet...

I have 2gb.

It should... I'm on wireless atm but I don't see why LAN wouldn't work.

Damn, that's a nice price.

Welcome~
