About the HP Pavilion dv6-3138tx (AKA dv63138tx) - (Price $899.00)
This allrounder used to be excellent, but by current standards it's actually rather expensive.
For $899 the HP Pavilion dv6-3138tx (Also called the dv63138tx) allrounder notebook is no longer good value for money. Simply put, there are newer low-end allrounders from HP that can be found for much less money and have universally better specs.
It has a Intel Core i3-370M (2.4GHz) processor that can handle HD movies or video editing among other things. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 graphics along with 4GB of RAM can smoothly handle games like StarCraft 2 on low settings.
The 320GB hard drive is disappointing, as at this price 500GB hard drives are very common. To the surprise of no one there’s a 15.6in (1,366x768 resolution) screen, which is a normal but still good feature of most allrounder notebooks. It weighs 2.49kg and measures 378mm wide, 245mm deep, and 36mm thick.
This is an average, notebook, with not a great deal to recommend it but on show-stopper downsides either.
