The Basics

• Processor: The 1.9 GHz AMD Athlon 64 X2 TK-57 processor offers a dual-core architecture, which delivers additional computing resources to help expand your PC's capabilities by providing higher throughput and simultaneous computing--increasing your performance by up to 80 percent. You'll be able to perform multiple tasks such as digital rendering and gaming all while running virus scan or other background tasks seamlessly thanks to the innovative Direct Connect Architecture. And it's designed to handle simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing with no degradation in performance. You'll enjoy long battery life thanks to the AMD PowerNow! power management technology, which delivers performance on demand and can extend system battery life up to 65 percent. And the AMD Digital Media XPress technology delivers stellar multimedia performance and playback on digital entertainment such as games, streaming video and audio, DVDs, and music.

  It has a single 512 KB L2 cache shared between the two cores, and this processor can deliver up to a 1600 MHz system bus for lightning quick computing reflexes. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)

• Hard Drive: The 160 GB hard drive (5400 RPM) offers enough to room to hold a digital audio library of over 26,000 songs and still have room left over for movies, games, and a large collection of software. This Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive also quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to FireWire and USB 2.0.

• Memory: The 2 GB of installed RAM (2 x 1024 MB DDR2) is an excellent start, but this notebook's two DIMM slots have a maximum 4 GB RAM capacity--perfect for high-end video editing and 3-D gaming.

• DVD/CD Drive: This multiformat DVD/CD drive is compatible with writing both DVD+ and DVD- disc formats as well as dual-layer (DL) DVD+/-R discs, which can store up to 8.5 GB of data. It features 4x DVD-R DL Write Once, 2.4x DVD+R DL Write Once, 8x DVD+R, 4x DVD+RW, 8x DVD-R, 4x DVD-RW, 16x DVD-ROM, 40x CD-R, 24x CD-RW, and 40x CD-ROM speeds.

• Keyboard & Mouse: This notebook has a 101-key keyboard and a touchpad with on/off button and dedicated vertical/horizontal Scroll Up/Down pad. It also includes two quick-launch buttons (HP QuickPlay Music and DVD).

The Altec Lansing speakers provide exceptional sound, and a pair of stereo earbud headphones with volume controls is included. You'll be able to privately share enjoyment of multimedia with a friend via the dual headphone jacks.

This is my second hp product, I should have learned from the first one to stay away from hp. I have owned a hp pavilion dv6707 for 8 months, have had over 100 vidio graphics errors/failures and hp refuses to replace the nvidia card. Have sent it in for two times, hp failed to repair failures. I`m now sending in this laptop a third time, for the same thing, vidio graphics card failure. I have no faith in this commpany, Tech support is horrible, cheap India labor that can`t speak english shows what type of company this is.....CHEAP! I rate this computor and hp at -5 stars.

It is not the fanciest laptop around but it is reliable. Plus, It is great for de-friending lifelong friends on myspace.

I use this machine for music, dvd's, online streaming of tv shows, managing my photos, video conferencing, video editing, music editing and it can handle it all. I have had the laptop for almost 1 year and after getting used to the dreaded Vista, I now quite like it. Vista seems good for Home rather than Office use, I can understand businesses sticking with XP.

My previous laptop was a year 2000 Dell Inspiron. For years that computer was holding on to its last breath, eeking out its miserable existence. Getting the HP Pavilion was like upgrading from a Citroen 2CV to a spacecraft.

Importantly, I have experienced no serious overheating problems and the power cord has a solid connection to the laptop.

I LOVE my HP Pavilion dv6770se - I would buy this again in an INSTANT - I purchased this back in April 2008 and I use it almost daily :) - LOVE IT!

I bought this laptop about a year back and right away installed Windows Vista professional edition. I love this laptop with one exception, the key board is badly designed. The mouse pad is extremely sensitive and it is very common that while type my had would touch the keypad and courser would move to a different location without my knowing.
