HP Better Together, my initial thoughts

**Jewelzz** · July 31st, 2009

Here are my initial thoughts of the HP dv6-1299lx and HP Mini-110-1036SR college bundle which were sent to me by HP recently to evaluate for a few months and are the same models involved with the OSNN, Ivy Worldwide, HP & Microsoft Competition - Better Together Giveaway, so if any of the prizes there interest you this is what you could get your hands on!

Microsoft Internet Explorer

Syncables Desktop lets you sync, share and migrate your media, bookmarks, email and documents between your computers.

The "My Computer" library pane lets you browse the photos, music, videos, documents, and bookmarks that have been set up on this computer.

The "Mail" pane displays locally stored email items (Inbox, Drafts, etc.) associated with the supported email application installed on your computer - Outlook, Windows Mail, Outlook Express, and Thunderbird.

The "Sites" pane lets you access the photos and videos that have been published to your accounts, such as YouTube, SmugMug, and more.

The "Computers" pane displays all available computers running syncables desktop on your local network.

The "Devices" pane displays all available portable USB storage devices connected to your computer.

The Syncables Desktops Software is located on the mini and is easy to install on to the HP dv6. To get the software onto your HP dv6 you simply locate the folder under programs in the Syncables Desktop folder, save to a USB drive, transfer to the dv6 then install. Viola, you are ready to go! You must be on same network in order to sync the two or more computers. Transfer rate is slow when doing multiple files but seems quicker when doing single file transfers.

Although the Syncables Desktop software states you can share data on up to five computers, I’m having issues sharing between the three I’m currently running the software on. Each laptop sees only one laptop, not two. Something I need to work on and out.

The HP Webcam with integrated digital microphone has a high quality, excellent picture, according to my friend who I Skype’d with to test the quality.

The trackpad on the HP dv6 is the same shiny silver tone which is on the HP dv2. Like with the dv2 I’m not a fan of this trackpad, a bit too slick, needs some sort of traction.

Being a former data entry clerk I have to say I absolutely love the 10 touch pad. But I must say I have a bit of trouble adjusting to the difference in the keyboards from the mini to the dv6. I find myself have to back space a lot since my fingers are usually on the wrong keys. Just a minor adjustment that I’m sure I’ll get used to, eventually.

Again, I’m not a fan of Microsoft Vista and I’ve read on HPs site that if you order the dv6 now it will come Microsoft Windows 7 will come pre-installed, YAH!

Graphics on the dv6 are simply amazing. Now, I’m not a gamer but did loan the dv6 to a friend who installed Sims3 and Gothic 3 Foresaken. Both are fairly demanding and the ATI Radeon HD 4650 performed superbly.

Internet Explorer 7 comes installed but Internet Explorer 8 can be easily installed via Windows Update (which you should of course always check immediatly with a new computer).

The CyberLink DVD Suite came pre-installed for use with the Blu-Ray LightScribe DVD RW dual layer player. CyberLink doesn’t allow for frame adjustment although the LightScribe image turned out well. I much rather prefer Nero for LightScribe image burning.

The Blu-Ray drive is a superb additon and audio is excellent for a laptop.

The 16 inch HD BrightView infinity monitor is fabulous. It’s much larger than what I’ve been working with lately which is a nice change and the picture quality and superb.

The processor: 2gig Intel Centrino 2 featuring a Core 2 dual processor P7350 and 4gig of memory, WOW!

What can I say about the mini, it's small and compact (2.89 lbs), perfect for carrying around on a daily basis and not feeling like you have a ton a bricks on your back. Don't let the size fool you, this mini laptop packs a punch! I used the HP mini Vivienne Tam edition from January 2009 until June 2009 when I received the dv2 for review and love working on it. I only stopped so I could review the dv2 and the dv6/mini bundle. Your guess is as good as mine as to which will become my primary laptop.

The biggest con for me with the mini is that there isn't an internal DVD drive. I can understand the concept behind that and it's really a mute point when it comes the the dv6/mini bundle since the dv6 has a kick butt Blu-Ray drive.

Timbuk2: H.A.L. Backpack

Features

Super durable ballistic nylon exterior
Padded, low profile internal laptop compartment for full protection without the bulk
Timbuk2's trademarked Swing Around Access; grab your laptop without taking off your pack.
Lightweight ergonomic shoulder straps are designed to fit people, not robots
Padded back panel with secret small zipper pocket for easy key storage
Multiple grab straps for easy lifting
Huge internal volume for carrying loads of stuff
Super easy-access internal organization area for pens and such
Small external zipper pocket for stashing small things
Ultra adjustable sternum straps

Let's not forget the Timbuk2 laptop bag which was sent along with the HP dv6/HP Mini Back to School Bundle. Timbuk2 has several bags in different shapes, sizes and styles. I received the H.A.L. which is one of the largest bags I've used. While it's still compact in that it doesn't take up much room, I can easily fit the HP dv6, HP dv2 and the HP Mini along with power cables for each and still have room for other things. Now I wouldn't suggest carrying all those electronics, but it is possible. A very sturdy bag and well worth the money.

Unfortunately we're unable to let the cat out of the bag that and, we're not given all the information until the exact time the promo started. A few small yet important details were left out until early this morning.

I don't know what you go Johnny but the dv6 is sweet and this deal is even sweeter!

Terrahertz · August 24th, 2009

Holy Moly what a review 0_0. This is much better than some official sites.

dawns41 · August 25th, 2009

Hi Jewelzz, I wanted to tell you that I really enjoyed your review. It kept my interest. So many reviews are just darn boring today. I felt you gave alot of info while keeping the readers interest.

I learned alot. If I happen to win in the HP contest your review confirmed my thoughts in giving the HP Mini to my son who is going to college this year. Thanks!

**Jewelzz** · August 25th, 2009

Thanks Terrahertz and dawns41

dawns41, you son would love the mini for school. It's compact yet powerful enough for the daily tasks college students do.

lizdehart · August 26th, 2009

That is a great bundle. TY!

nikolasharris · August 26th, 2009

Sweet little bundle

Great review.

Sahr · August 27th, 2009

Thank you for a very informative review Jewel. I can only dream of owning these laptops. The bag would be great for carrying the two laptops!
