HEY! I'm from Canada.... Can I order this one????? how to get the $350 off? it says that the coupon is invalid.
I wanted the HP dv6t Quad Edition Ivy Bridge Core i7-3610QM 3rd Gen, GeForce GT 650M, 8GB RAM, Blu-ray" deal with $350.00 off, but it shows only $250 off. How do I get the full $350.00?
the new processor (core i7 2.3ghz 3rd generation) better then the old model (core i7 2.2ghz 4 core ) ?
Yeah it's easily higher performance for the i7-3610QM vs the comparable i7-2670QM. you'll see faster real world application load time (Adobe CS5 for example is 12.1 second in the 3610QM vs the 2670QM at 14.1 second). Integrated GPU is actually A LOT faster too. All in all I'd rather get Ivy Bridge unless cost is a real concern, in which case you should be able to snag older dv6 from other retailers at a cheap price (but HP might not carry them anymore).
Ivy Bridge is here! One of the best selling laptop on the market, the HP dv6 quad is refreshed for 2012 with new chassis and a brand new 3rd Gen processor. We highly recommended the GeForce GT 650M "Kepler" in this configuration, as for $25 more, you get plenty more gaming and graphics performance. Other great upgrades are faster HDD, mSSD cache.

Just a check in from awhile ago... I received this comp in the mail about 2 weeks ago and it is truly amazing. The mSSD is perhaps the best easy add-on that can be done, as it boots from shut down to rdy to go in 15-20sec. The 1080 clearly is rad, and the nVIDIA card rocks every game max graphics I can throw at it thus far. If you're looking for a desktop replacement, this is the one. Also, HP shipping return is awesome, about a week and a half before I got this I had ordered another with lesser specs, they took it back no problem, 21 day return policy. Thus, you don't like it, send it back since they do free shipping. Seriously, laptop gaming rig for the most affordable price I've seen in months. If you're skeptical about SSD, google "how much faster is a solid state hard drive asus". The video alone should convince you for startup speed. Nothing to lose, thanks to the deals here me and my bro are slaughtering games. -Jay
The price shows 687.99 though after applying the coupon, the price is above 900$
hey West, sorry about that, the instant savings in this deal got accidentally left in the calculation, it has now been removed/fixed. $687 would have been wayyy too good.
Fully loaded HP dv6 with Ivy Bridge, premium 1080p panel and all the upgrades at well under $1,000. Other nice upgrades are the backlit keyboard, and Intel wireless display, both of which will only add about $27 to the total cost of the system. Faster hard drive is also an upgrade option. Use the 33% off coupon before it expires!
Is there truly a difference between this machine and the ones you can buy from ibuypower or even sagers? I only ask because the steps are similar but the prices on the other machines are around 1.5 - 2k, again not exactly the same specs but not enough of a jump to be 500 more, So I am just wondering if anyone truly knows, are the other two just more reliable than using an HP as a gaming system?
33% off, get everything you want(i7 3820QM,2GB GT650M, SSD 160GB, Full HD, Backlit keyboard...), the price is only around 1250$.
Yeah that is pretty loaded, but I'd probably go with a different SSD vs the 160GB one they have, maybe a 256GB Samsung or Crucial one instead. Backlit keyboard is definitely a nice addition.
Hot dang! 33% coupon now available for the Ivy Bridge versions of HP dv6t Quad. This makes the loaded config with 1080p, 32GB SSD cache and GT 650M below the $1,000 mark. Coupon redemption limit is 900 and we expect it to go quick.
will a larger capacity ssd fit in the space occupied by the 32 gb ssd
HP did a little switch-a-roo and changed the pricing on the GT 650M 1GB upgrade option on the new Ivy Bridge based dv6t Quad. The thing is, this worked out as the 2GB model isn't really necessary in our opinion, so you end up saving $25 from not adding this upgrade to reach the $1399 coupon requirement.
should get back-lit keyboard,worth for 25$
Amazing news, contacted HP this morning and as stated a bit earlier there is NO restock fee! So they recommended I receive the comp I ordered, and go through the return policy for a full refund. Bought this beast today, ship date is the 16th and I can't wait! Thanks for the support, really made a difference in what I'm getting! -J
Hey Viet, So I bought the older Sandy Bridge version of this about 2 weeks ago, only to be awestruck by this deal here. I'm debating now whether to try to return the one I receive and order this or just stick with what I've got...? It's essentially the same specs minus the Ivy Bridge, mSSD and the graphics card is the 2gb 7690m. I'm buying it for gaming, primarily D3 but obviously I'd like to be able to run anything. Any advice? I know the 650m is superior to the 7690m, I'm just wondering if it's worth trying to return and all that hassle. Thanks! -J
Hmm yeah tough call. How much did you paid for it? I think HP will ding you with a restock fee (15%), but a good way to get around that is to contact customer service through phone/chat and see if you can get CREDIT for the previous purchase, then use that towards the new laptop (I would imagine they may be willing to compromise if they know you're about to get another HP laptop straight from HP). The thing is if you bought two weeks ago, you essentially paid for $200 to $300 less. That's A LOT less money. While the GT 650M is fast, the money saved could easily be used towards a solid disk drive, etc, giving you actual more performance vs the mSSD. If your buying price difference was anywhere near $150, then it may be worth the hassle to deal with return (again, try the method above vs being stuck with a 15% restock fee). Both will play D3 fine btw. I tried the Diablo 3 beta on a 7690M with a i7-2670QM at near high settings at 1080p without too much issues.
Right on, well I suppose I'll keep it, I did get it for like 200 cheaper. I know it'll run D3 no prob, I was just thinking over the like 5yr lifespan or so that I plan to keep using it. I paid $930 I think if I remember correctly, took your advice and went with the 7200rpm HD upgrade, and the 1920x1080 LED screen. If there really is a restocking fee then yeah I'd be losing out hardcore by trying to upgrade. It was really about whether the Ivy Bridge was that much better (15% from what I've read?) and the GT 650M. Thanks for the advice, I love this site btw, not sure I can look anywhere else for any computer related deals anymore :) -J
there's no restocking fee at hp. you can just call and ask them
Hmm I could have sworn there was before (I remember they got rid of the return guarantees back in 07 or 08 but looks like I was mistaken). Check out this link J for details and contact them regarding your situation: http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/return_exchange.do - Thanks for chiming in David
Been wondering if that mSSD is worth the purchase or not on this laptop. Or maybe just wait for a better discount. To wait or to buy now? Hmm.
Bought Tuesday for $852.88 with the 32GB mSSD, GT 650M with 1GB DDR5 and the Intel 802.1 bgn WLAN and Bluetooth(R). List for $1202.79 - $250.00 & $100.00 coupons. The intel WLAN is faster and give you the Intel WIDI Wireless Display. Ships out on the 15th.

The slightly lower-end config of a HP dv6 is the Select model with a 2nd Gen Sandy Bridge Core i5-2410M. This particular config is perfect if you won't be donig any heavy intensive gaming or graphical work. The integrated Intel HD 3000 is perfectly fine to stream full 1080p HD movies, whether its from the Blu-ray drive you added on or on YouTube. This can be a good option if someone just wants to power through school work on a decently sized laptop with decent balance of battery life and performance. Anytime you can get this configuration for under $700 and you'll be scoring a pretty solid cheapest deal. On Oct. 16th HP gave the base config a processor upgrade from Core i5-2410M to i5-2430M.

HP dv6t Select is the best value ever by $92. This week HP gave it 3 free upgrades: 1) CPU upgrade from Core i5-2410M to Core i5-2430M, 2) 6GB RAM to 8GB RAM (usually $60 extra), 3) 640GB hard drive to 750GB HDD (usually $40 extra). The lowest price ever for this laptop w/ out these upgrades was $565 (only $7 less).
Good price on the dv6t select which usually doesn't have 8GB of RAM and cost a bit more for a Blu-ray config. Coupon for $75 off expires later next week and was extended through Labor Day weekend. Practical cost 15-inch entertainment laptop? This is it.
HP launched a coupon code making the best prices ever on several HP laptop models. This 15.6-inch dv6t select recently got a free Blu-ray player upgrade along with free 6GB of RAM. Currently at its lowest price ever as typically this machine sells for around $680 ~ $700. It'll be very hard for you to find similar 2nd Gen i5 laptops in this class and for this price.
is this quad core?
Ah unfortunately no. The 2nd gen i5 is a dual-core processor, but its still no slouch when compared to other things on the market in the same price range. Definitely one of the better bang for the buck processors out there. If you want a quad core, take a look at the dv6t quad edition or even the dv6z quad edition (although the dv6z quad edition is about as fast as a dual-core i5).

Really nice price for this week's dv6z Qaud Edition after $200 coupon. You get a speedy quad-core A8-3530MX with the capable Radeon 6620G integrated GPU, a clearly faster GPU than 2nd Gen Sandy Bridge's Intel 3000 HD. You'll be able to run most modern 2011 games at low/medium settings at native resolutions of 1366 x 768 without too much of a sweat. Don't forget for $600 you get a Blu-ray player in this config too! Deal ends Oct 30th.
Super price on the dv6zqe with the quad-core higher-end A8. This might be a Today-only deal as the coupon doesn't usually stack with this much instant savings. The 3500M as as fast as a dual-core 2nd gen i7 in many benchmarks, and the integrated Radeon HD 6620G is an absolute no slouch in the new Llano AMD Fusion A8 series, letting you play most modern 2011 games at medium settings without too much problems.
This week's HP dv6z coupon savings is actually pretty interesting because you can upgrade to the 1GB GDDR5 Radeon HD Dual Graphics, which, as far as we can tell is basically the fast mid-range Radeon HD 6700M series of GPU. For $700, this is a pretty solid deal since the quad-core AMD A8 is basically almost the same speed as a 2nd Gen Intel Core i5.
Deal doesn't seem to be working anymore. Bummer because I planned on purchasing today...
Bummer sorry to hear that. Try setting a deal alert for this page or just check back later next week to see if HP releases any new coupon for the dv6z w/ the A8-3530MX. If you don't mind springing for about $75 more though, the dv6tqe with i7 is a relatively decent deal too.
Thank you. I'm gonna save up a few more weeks & get the 3D Envy when I spot another coupon. I read the specs & fell in love. This site is great. Thanks for everything dudes...
Not a problem. This week's coupon for the dv6z quad actually isnt so bad, you pay $7 more but you get more battery, more RAM, more HD space and a slightly faster CPU. This might be a Sunday fluke though because the coupon carries over from last week's promotion, come Monday it may change up a bit again. Not rushing you to buy or anything, just letting you know whats up. But waiting for 3D Envy is probably a solid move, especially if you want a sexier laptop (it definitely looks a whole lot better!)

I'll be keeping my eye on you!
Dirt cheap price for a quad-core AMD Fusion A6 series equipped processor thanks to HP's current aggressive coupon. The coupon use count is pretty limited so if you want a cheap budget laptop that isn't terrible slow, along with Blu-ray, this is a great option. Expect performance similar to a dual-core 2nd gen i5, and ability to play light/medium games, even if they're games from this year.
Best price ever for this 15.6-inch HP dv6z Quad Edition laptop by $45. Comes with the new AMD A-series processor upgradable to A8-3510MX. It's not a high end computer but a good buy for the price and comes w/ a free blu-ray upgrade. People who bought this unanimously like the battery life. The $75 coupon code that makes this best ever price (launched Sunday) has a max redemption limit of 450 so it's not likely to continue much longer.
The refreshed dv6z with the newer AMD quad-core A6 processor is a very interesting buy for those looking for decent performance on the cheap. You'd get 2nd gen i5 comparable performance with more processing core and graphics capability via the better integrated Radeon 6520G GPU. Blu-ray included makes this an easy buy for people that needs a cheap but capable multimedia laptop.
How to Figure Out Which DV6 to Buy
The HP Pavilion dv6 series of laptops are the current "flagship" mainstream HP laptop, consistently being one of the most popular selling model due to its price point and size factor. Refreshed numerous time through its lifespan, the current 2012 lineup for this laptop series now comes with the brand new Intel Ivy Bridge 3rd Generation processors. Between this model and some of the older models such as dv6t select which carries the older Sandy Bridge 2nd Gen chips, things can get a bit confusing. But worry not, this buying guide and full review on models such as the dv6tqe will help you figure out what exactly the differences are between each models.
If you're thinking about buying a HP Pavilion dv6 laptop, the information below will help you sort through the numerous choices available. With the dv6's high range of customization and upgradable component options, you'll get a laptop with a good range of performance and great bang for the buck. In fact, many times these 15-inch laptops are one of the best value you'll find for laptops with the latest Intel Core i7 Sandy Bridge & Ivy Bridge processors.
Savings amount from a HP dv6tqe coupon and the regular dv6t coupon will range anywhere from between about 21% to 33% off the listed price (some of the coupon codes will stack with instant savings while some won't stack). HP will release their HP coupons base on a set schedule (usually during the weekend) and during certain inventory situations, they will release different sets of discounts. For example, one of the best discounts that HP will occasionally release is 30% off total order price (vs. a flat amount off such as $300 off $1200). The percentage based coupons are the best bet since you'll be able to scale your laptop configuration up to your liking and still get the best price even after tackling on a beefier graphics card, SSD, or other options and addons.
For the new Ivy Bridge line-up, the only current coupon that works is the $50 coupon which works on the base configuration of the dv6 (i7-3610M with GT 630M), and then there's a much bigger $400 coupon which comes into effect when your configuration reaches $1399+. Recommended upgrades are listed above, with the GT 650M and higher resolution 1080p panel being the top choice.
Model Numbers and Specifications Explained
What are the difference between the dv6 models? As of 2011, the series of laptops are currently divided into about five different models:
- HP dv6tqe Quad Edition
- Refreshed again in 2012 and currently the fastest dv6 laptop available, powered by quad-core Intel Ivy Bridge Core i7 processors. Speed choices ranges from 2.3Ghz to 2.7Ghz (i7-3610QM, i7-3710QM, and i7-3820QM). Coupons for the dv6tqe is usually a flat rate off.
- HP dv6t Select
- Intel dual-core processor equipped customizable laptops. Choices for the dv6t Select are mostly dual-core Core i5 with one dual-core Core i7. Speed options are from 2.3Ghz to 2.7Ghz. The Core i7 has 4MB of L3 cache vs 3MB on the Core i5s. HP dv6t coupons are usually around 25% off.
- HP dv6t
- Intel processor equipped customizable laptop, the non "Select" are equipped with less powerful Intel processors. Current choice is the dual-core Core i3 at 2.4Ghz.
- HP dv6z
- AMD processor equipped customizable laptop. Choice from dual-core Phenom II to triple and quad-core options. Speeds from 1.8Ghz to 3.0Ghz. HP dv6z coupons are usually a flat rate of $30 to $75 off.
- HP dv6-####
- These laptops are non-customizable pre-configures that are usually found at third-party retailer sites (Best Buy, Newegg, Amazon, etc.) Processor choices are usually the Core i3 and AMD Phenom variants.
Gaming with HP Pavilion dv6
But can it run Crysis?
Is gaming feasible on these laptops? The answer is a definite yes, especially if you opt for the dv6tqe Quad Edition model, as they come with the choice of a GeForce GT 630M or the new Kepler-based GT 650M (previously powered by a Radeon HD 7490M or 7960M). We particularly recommend any Quad Edition Core i7 CPUs, with the i7-3610QM being a good baseline choice in terms of price and performance.
Based on Notebookcheck benchmarks on the GT 630M and GT 650M, you can expect moderate gaming power with the 630M and very decent gaming performance with the high-mid-range GT 650M. Both GPU supports DirectX 11.1 and Shader 5.0. For comparison, the GT 650M will be able to play Mass Effect 3 at Ultra settings anywhere from 35 to 49 FPS, depending on the processor and RAM paired with the GPU. Skyrim can also be very playable at high setting at around 43 FPS.
Older Radeon HD 6490M/7490M GPU Option
For the Radeon HD 6490M, you can expect perfect performance for most modern games at low settings with definite playable frame rates in medium settings for most modern games. For example, with Starcraft 2, you can expect frame rates at about 180+ in low settings, but if you turn it up to medium settings (with more shader details/textures), frame rates will drop to about 30 to 35. A noticeable difference but the game will still be playable, especially if you have a decent CPU for when the action gets crowded.
You can expect similar performance ratio for games such as Crysis, which runs at about 90 fps in low setting on the 6490M, but drops to about 28-30 in medium settings. MMOs such as World of Warcraft will tune in at about 70 fps in medium, and 20-ish on high. Most of these big drop in performance can probably be attributed to the low 64-bit memory bandwidth found in the 6490M. Overall, the 6490M is a capable gaming GPU, and you should be able to play any pre-2009/2010 games without issues.
Older Radeon HD 6770M/7690M GPU Option
In regards to the Radeon HD 6770M, you can expect a lot more performance out of this superb mid-high range card. With memory bandwidth at 128-bit (vs 256-bit in high-end cards), the 6770M makes up for the middle ground bandwidth speed with a fast memory clock speed. At 1600Mhz for the 6770M's GDDR5 RAM, the GPU is more than capable of rendering modern games at higher resolutions.
For medium setting, games like Starcraft will do 50+ fps without issue, and Crysis will clock in at 60+ fps in medium settings depending on the resolution you're playing at. When you turn the eye candy up to higher settings, performance is still acceptable, with Crysis running at around 30 fps, still plenty playable. You should be able to play all modern games without major issues on the 6770M, this includes latest releases such as Crysis 2 and the upcoming Battlefield 3. High to ultra settings may be a bit sluggish, but adjust as necessary. If you keep resolution and shader level down, the games should perform on an acceptable level.
Some extra perks you can expect from both GPUs above are UVD 3 video decoder, giving you fast hardware decoding for AVC/H.264, VC-1 types of HD videos. You'll also get a built-in HD audio controller on the GPU so TrueHD audio or DTS Master Audio can pass-thru over HDMI/DisplayPort to your HDTV/receiver setup of choice.
Intel HD Graphics 2nd Gen & Radeon HD 4250 Options
For those that are looking to buy the dv6t Select edition laptop, dv6z Select, or the regular dv6t, you'll have a variety of integrated graphics in the form of Intel GMA HD 3000, Radeon HD 4250, and Intel HD graphics, respectively. The new dv6t Select comes with the 2nd generation Sandy Bridge Intel CPU, which has a newer integrated GPU, currently name HD 3000.
Like the previous Intel HD Graphics, the newer HD 3000 scales their clock speed base on system demands, with the GPU clock going from 350Mhz to 1300Mhz. Memory bandwidth is a bit higher at 21.3 GB/s, versus the previous generation's 12.8 to 17.2 GB/s. Other minor difference is support for DirectX 10.1 and Shader 4.1 in the HD 3000, while the previous Intel HD Graphics DirectX 10.0 and Shader 4.0. If you're looking for DX11 support, you'll have to opt for the discrete-class GPUs.
In terms of integrated performance, the Radeon HD 4250 found in the dv6z (AMD models) are a bit more powerful in performance, with slightly better frame rates. Regardless of which integrated GPU you have, all of them should be able to run most games at the lowest setting in acceptable frame rate. Expect sub-par performance for FPS games though, with Crysis clocking in at about 20-25 fps (depending on the GPU/CPU) in low settings, and most likely lower than 15 fps in Crysis 2 (so don't expect modern FPS games to run too well). Having said that, if you're just planning to continue your WoW raids, all the integrated GPUs above will run WoW in medium settings at an acceptable 30-38 FPS.

HP's Memorial Day weekend coupon codes launched today making the lowest price ever on the dv6t w/ Intel Ivy Bridge by $20. A solid price drop considering this laptop was $850 after coupon on it's April 29th release date. You'd be hard pressed to find a cheaper laptop out there w/ the new Quad Core i7-3610QM 'ivy bridge' CPU.
reply
I didn't think price will drop again so soon. I stand corrected.
reply
Knowing hp there is no way on earth that they would put a sata3 ssd in a laptop. I know for a fact that the 1tb 5400 rpm hdd is sata 2.
reply
That 160gb ssd upgrade looks pretty reasonable with a 33% coupon as the upgrade is basically $133 for the ssd - depending on the details (type of ssd, whether runs at sata III, or some kind of msata package). That's pretty decent for having HP do it themselves. Granted, you could get an 180gb IBM 330 for $140 (assuming that deal is going) or a Sandforce 120gb for $90, but you'll have to do it yourself.
reply
Im looking for laptop i found one here but one item is 5400 rpm which i dont like it, i want 7200rpm its possible for you to modify this, HP dv6t Quad Edition Ivy Bridge Core i7-3610QM 3rd Gen, GeForce GT 630M, 8GB RAM, Blu-ray, please let me know as the coupon will expired tomorrow. thanks
reply
Hey sunny, unfortunately it looks like HP got rid of the 7200 rpm option. You used to be able to add the deal to the cart, then config the options to your liking. I'm not sure why there's only the 160GB SSD option in lieu of a faster hard drive now. But if you want some overall more storage performance, the 32GB mSSD hard drive acceleration cache for $50 is a worthwhile addition, giving you performance of a hybrid-style solid disk drive along with 1 terabyte of hard drive space.

Hasn't been working for me o.o

Worked for me. Weird. This is US-only I think.
reply
Dead on Friday but now back in action for the weekend! Grab the 33% off coupon before it goes away again. Best bet upgrades: GT 650M, 1080p, Intel WiDi, backlit keyboards and the mSSD cache.
reply
It's not working...Are you sure the coupon code is working now? I literally checked more than a hundred times...
reply
Hmm I'm not sure what could be the problem... I just tried again and it worked. Did you made sure you enter the coupon without any spaces? NBP8784 (click on get deal, add to cart, enter coupon in the sidebar field). If you have other things in your cart, make sure you remove them. Check the video explanation if you need some visual guidance, although HP changed the look of their site a little bit, it should be pretty straight forward.
reply
After 2 hours later your new post, I was able to use it. Thanks.
reply
hey i cant buy this in canada?
reply
I now clearly understand what hap spened... I successfully estimated the cost with using the coupon with the configuration I wanted. Now every time I tries to enter 33% coupon, it says the @#$% coupon is invalid... The weird thing is that HP claims that it has never issued such coupon like that (according to the rep I had)... Are you sure the 33% deal will be back during this weekend?
reply
Yep, its back :D just checked and it works. better grab it quick before they pause/do away with it again.
reply
I don't understand yesterday when I used the coupon with the config I created the price was about $1050 (33% off) and today it is $1195. Can you explain why, am I using the wrong coupon?
reply
Hey Sancar, yes this is a different coupon. Long story short HP has paused the 33% coupon, supposedly it will be back/available again this weekend. You should check back later this weekend to see if the 33% is back, or if a new deal appears.
reply
wtf when i put the nbp8784 it was a $600 off coupon!

hmm. did you add more to the config? its a 33%, percentage-based coupon so it scales to whatever addon you did.
reply
HP must really want to move more Ivy Bridge models because the dv6t Quad with the new chips are now only $770! This 33% percentage-based coupon works for the first 900 redemption, so it'll be interesting to see how long it'll last.

Doesn't work-

Hmm works fine for me, just double checked. Make sure no other laptops are added or other coupons added before, HP's website cookie/cache tends to keep those around, sometimes I just close/clear browser cookie and it'll work.

My mistake, it just doesn't work with the hp academy discount.
reply
How long do you think this coupon will last?
reply
well it expires in May 23rd if thats the question but redemption limit is about 900 (across all sites), so might go a bit fast since its the first percentage coupon
reply
Are there any known coupons for the quick ship model? I've searched online and have found none.
reply
Unfortunately not that I'm aware of. these pre-configured quick ship models aren't straight from the factory, so there's no incentive for HP to offer discount. current lead time on the Ivy bridge is a bit long so I can see how you might be interested in the quick-ship model. (We ordered a Envy 14 quick-ship once ourselves, and at the very least it did arrive VERY fast, next day in fact).

Why do these coupons never work for me? I get the 'default' discount of $250 + $50, but when I put the coupon in, it says it doesn't apply to what's in my cart.
reply
hey NHSJPETERSON, check out our video explanation if you need a little clarification, but the "NBT6631" coupon only works on dv6t or dv7t quad edition, and as far as I can tell, doesn't work on other models. I just tried the code and it works just fine for me.
reply
I was trying to order the dv6t, went to the page by clicking 'Get Deal'. However, I was manually typing the coupon code in at checkout. Tried it many times, it never worked. Just now, When I used the 'Paste' command instead of typing it in myself, it worked. Oh well, it was only a $50 loss.
reply
Sorry to hear that you were having problems. You can always cancel the order and re-order? this is especially true if they haven't shipped the item yet. just chat with HP support and tell them you want to order a different system instead... but yeah up to you if hassle is worth it.
reply
Looks good! I've been waiting for a deal like this.
