A Short Video Review of the HP Pavilion dv6z

"As part of the most recent refresh to the popular Pavilion line of notebooks, HP has released the HP Pavilion dv6z, an AMD-powered notebook that includes a sleek-looking metal alloy lid. The new HP Pavilion dv6z includes switchable graphics with an island-style keyboard and starts at $579."

A medium-sized laptop, with a robust AMD processor and switchable graphics, the dv6z sports a different keyboard, with a row of function keys added vertically to the left of the standard keys. The processor is robust, but exhibits a few unexplained lags when using multiple Chrome browser windows with multiple tabs. This 15.6-inch glossy-screened laptop is targeted to the back-to-school crowd. A more complete review is expected to be available within the next week or so.
