"Cnet's review is sooo bias"
4.5 starson by blazin_it_alwyzPros: Very good laptop
Cons: Cnet's review is so bias
Summary: Like seriously, where do they get this stuff? Read their review summary.
"The bottom line: We like the HP Pavilion dv6000's attractive design and multimedia features, but don't expect this Core 2 Duo laptop to break any speed records."
First of all, a laptop is only as good as the parts you put into it. They give better ratings to more expensive laptops, but the fact is that the more expensive laptops they review are configured with MORE RAM.
If you notice, the dv6000t laptop they review is only configured with 1 GIG OF RAM! Seriously Cnet, how do you expect the laptop to "break spead records" if your not putting enough ram in the laptop in the first place for it to perform! Like seriously, who still puts 1 GIG OF RAM IN THEIR COMP IF THEY ARE LOOKING FOR PERFORMANCE?! Cnet you dropped the ball man.
I actually looked at the other reviews of laptops that got higher scores, and it's total bull! Also notice how they state that battery life is poor, but they don't bother to tell you that instead of the 6 cell battery that the dv6000t comes with, it can also come with the 12 cell battery, which they state, and I quote
"An optional 12-cell battery costs $40 (CNET did not test this battery)"
FIRST OF ALL, I don't know if you have been keeping up with how much batteries for laptops cost, they DON'T COST 40 bucks, that's for sure, but if you mean that instead of getting the 6 cell, you can get the 12 cell, ya you can do that, but there are pros and cons with that, which cnet fails to even mention, once again dropping the ball. And the fact that they compare this to higher end laptops with bigger batteries but yet opt to review this laptop with the weakest battery that comes with it is also suspicious(READ:bias)
What is ALSO CURIOUS is that this laptop, the dv6000t is rated 6.7, but yet the dv9000t is rated 7.9, which is a decidedly enormous jump of a rating for which there is little to no merit, especially when the laptops are almost identical, except the dv9000t has a bigger keyboard (keypad), option for hd-dvd (and everybody knows that you shouldn't be gettin any next gen formats as of yet, even according to cnet.com), and probably other stupid stuff I'm forgetting. Just because something has more stuff doesn't mean (hey, you have more stuff that you pay more for, but hey let's bump up the rating still) and that deserves a 1.2 point rating jump? Let's get serious.
If you actually read the review of this laptop and compare it with other reviews of laptops, you will see how bogus this review is, and I will continue with that theory.
And I quote "Our Pavilion dv6000 ran on Windows XP Professional; given its many media features, we're surprised the system is not available with Windows XP Media Center."
I will state this now: You can ABSOULUTELY configure xp media center on this laptop. I wish I could insert a picture of me having the choice to put windows xp media center on the laptop. And EVEN THEN, is that reason to knock this laptop? It really seems like they're nitpicking on stupid stuff.(Read:Bias)
Oh and here's a really good one.
"When it comes to battery life, the Pavilion dv6000's 2 hour, 35 minute battery life is somewhat disappointing; we'd hoped for at least 3 hours."
Now, keep in mind that the bigger the screen, the better the video card and hard drive and processor, the more power your consuming. Now the dv6000 is not anywhere near as nicely configured as the dv9000.
and I quote from the dv9000 review "When it comes to battery life, though, the dv9000t triumphed: its battery held out for 3 hours, 19 minutes"
Now, HOW is a bigger laptop with a bigger screen (17 inches opposed to 15.4 inches) better video card (Nvidia GeForce Go 7600 opposed to Nvidia GeForce Go 7500), more hard drive space (2 100gb 5400 rpm hard drives opposed to 100 gb 5400 rpm hard drive!!), etc, going to last 1 HOUR AND 30 MINUTES LONGER!
That's impossible, especially since both of the laptops are using core 2 duo's, so you can't say the efficiency of the processor, so tell me Cnet, what is making the dv9000t so much faster huh?
The bigger laptop is allowing more space for the laptop to breathe, and to circulate the information, therefore making the battery power low, also making the laptop faster? (sarcasm)
So basically Cnet is almost 100% at fault, and show's how accurate their testing is.
It's pretty sad because I have been a long time cnet fan, and this used to be the first place I go to, and pretty much the last place, but I've noticed they've become uninformitave, inconsistant, and bias (like how they were completely bias against this computer).Updated
I just wanted to go over some points; I was reading my article and noticed some small and very minor mistakes; I thought I would go ahead and let you know.
When I say battery life is 1 hour and 30 min more, if you do the math it comes out to more like an hour. Like I said, just correcting minor details, the fact still remains that Cnet dropped the ball, I'm just correcting minor stuff here.
and when I say
"That's impossible, especially since both of the laptops are using core 2 duo's, so you can't say the efficiency of the processor, so tell me Cnet, what is making the dv9000t so much faster huh?"
When I say that quote, I meant "what is making the dv900t so much more ENERGY EFFICIENT huh?"
Ok, had to get that out of the way, I like for my reviews to be AS ACCURATE AS POSSIBLE *cough* Now some after thoughts.
I was just re-reading the review, reading my review again, thought I should add some points onto that.
Have a look at the pros.
"The good: Slick, lightweight design; decent processor performance; built-in Webcam; two headphone jacks."
"Decent processor performance" huh? Even in the good section they're STILL dissing this laptop! I don't understand why in these high end laptops, it's the same core 2 duo processors, and those processors are oh so much better?! I suppose these other high end laptops that get good reviews have "Special Edition Core 2 Duo processors....."(sarcasm)
, and that's why a Core 2 duo is a great proc on a high end laptop, and a "decent" proc on this laptop.................
Let's move on shall we?
The Bad Section.
"The bad: Mediocre battery life; optional glossy display can be reflective."
Ok, we all know what the mediocre battery life is all about now, already covered it in my review, cnet doesn't know what they're talking about so.....
Lets see.
"Optional glossy display CAN be reflective".
1st of all, key word is OPTIONAL.
Going to go off the subject for a second, but for a reason.
The Laptop can come with a remote. Some people think the remote is dumb, didn't get it with the laptop. I thought it would be useful, and got it, because it was OPTIONAL. If you like it, get it, if you don't like it, DON'T FREAKING GET IT!. At least they HAVE the option. And read the quote, they didn't say it is reflective, they said it "can be reflective". If you have a lamp right in the back of your head, then ya, it can be reflective. I know we all love cnet, but if you look around really good, you can find some good reviews about this laptop, and other people seem to find that optional screen is one of the best screens they could of got, especially for when they use it and what they do (read: optional for your lifestyle).(READ: OPTIONAL)
And about the ram argument in the original review, here's a funny little quote I found from the review.
"The dv6000 didn't come out ahead on the multitasking and Photoshop tests, though, most likely because it has less RAM than its competitors."
Um, Ya! ya think Cnet? Wow whoever reviewed this laptop...........wow I can't believe this..........
Ok. Now that I have went over all the reasons why Cnet.com's gripes over this laptop are totally unsubstantiated, and although it would be nice to say this laptop is perfect, no it isn't perfect. It did make me mad that Cnet had stupid things to complain about, so seeing as how this should be a FAIR REVIEW (as should all reviews from this site should be), I'm going to go over some legitimate gripes.
1.Laptop Cover
The Laptop Cover has a very shiny black finish that absolutely attracts dust and finger prints, even so much that HP even includes a cleaning cloth with the laptop (don't you think that's something cnet shoulda covered?)
2.How laptop closes
Most laptop's close and you can hear a little click, and to open it you have to slide some button from left to right to get it to open. This laptop however, closes by magnetic means. There is a strong magnet on the laptop cover, and a magnet on the base so that when you close it, opposites attract and it keeps the laptop closed. Some people found this weird, different, didn't like it, some people did. Once again, it would be nice if there was some mention about this, because this was a selling point for some people.
3. How far the laptop opens.
This is probably the hugest point of the laptop, this completely made or broke like alot of purchases of this laptop (I actually went to a really good place on the internet where alot of people were giving feedback about this laptop, some of the feedback being that cnet dropped the ball), and this is how far the laptop opens.
Usually, laptops just have a regular hinge, and usually will swing pretty much all the way open, but this laptop has like a new age hinge, and it's pretty cool, the only problem is that they implemented it in a way that only allows for the screen to swing so far open before it won't go any farther.
Now, this ALONE can make or break anyone purchasing it. If you stand up at work and want to use this laptop, to be able to see the screen on a laptop you have to swing it open farther than usual. You won't be able to do this so much on this laptop.
Also, if your laying in your bed, and want to rest your head on your pillow, put the laptop in your lap (hence the word "lap-top"), you have to swing it open a little bit more just because of the way your laying and where your knees go and such. Once again, you won't be able to do this so much on this laptop. Personally, I think this laptop is a 10, and this is the reason I deducted 1 big point of the laptop when I made the original review.Updated
Now. Don't you think this is stuff you should know about? To anybody reading this review, I "daresay" this has affected your purchase if you were EVEN considering this laptop. Let's see, was there anything else?
4. 12 cell battery
Ok, remember in the original review, where I was "complaining" if you will, about the fact that they didn't even bother to go over the 12 cell battery? That's another one of the huge selling points. But there are some pros' and cons to the battery.
pro - longer battery life
cons - sticks out of the bottom of your laptop, more expensive
Now, the 12 cell will pretty much double your battery life from whatever it was. But it does stick out at the bottom. Some people actually like this, because it makes the laptop tilt on a desk, giving you some ergonomics (lol). It is kinda awkward if you are laying down and it is on your, because it is sticking out.
Alright, I have to go, so I'm going to wrap this up.
Great laptop, some drawbacks (but that's with anything you buy, nothing is perfect, it's just finding the laptop that's closest TO perfect).
Cnet dropped the ball, I wrote this to pick up there slack. It's also absoultely funny, the date is 10/12/06 and if you scroll down the page and look on the right, you will see that THIS LAPTOP is the most popular laptop on Cnet.com RIGHT NOW. Hmmm......... now why is that.
Like I said, gotta, go, I will keep checking back, see what you guys have to say about this. Hopefully if this get's enough comments Cnet will retract the review, give us an apology, give us another review, a DECENT review at least.Updated
Hey guys, me again, thanks for the comments. I mean seriously, if this is THE most popular laptop on this site right now, I mean, someone has to lay it out for everyone, right? OK. So lets continue.
Here is a quote from the review.
"We like the sleek look of the keys, but we hate the beeping that indicates you've pressed a button; the sound can be disabled, but doing so is rather complicated."
First off, rather funny that in the REVIEW, it says that the button sound CAN be disabled, but if you watch the actual video, it is said that you CANNOT disable the button sound. Wow, the reviewer doesn't even agree with herself! Seriously, how can you expect to be taken seriously when you write a review and a video that come out at the same time and cover an aspect of something and have both types of reviews contradict each other?
Anywayz, anyone who bought this laptop a while ago can go to the Hp site and get a new version of bios which will disable the sound. If you bought a laptop like this recently or are planning on getting one in the future, it will come with the updated version of bios, which for non-technical people, is some options you can tweak, one of them being to cut of the sound the buttons make. And it's not complicated, I can explain it in like 3 steps.
1. Turn computer on.
2. Press F10 when it prompts you to.
3. Look and there will be an option, press enter and enable it. Done.
So, once again, one of the little gripes that cnet apparently had that made them deduct 3 points of this thing for no reason has been demolished. I'm poised for checkmate and it's your move Cnet.

Really great!<br>I soon get the laptop but with another <br>configuration and I think you are absolutely<br>right.<br>Thank you for posting your opinion.

Thanks for a great review. I only have a couple questions about the configuration of the dv6000t that i am going to order in a couple days.If you have time in your busy *cough* schedule, i would appreciate it if you answered my questions.<br><br>1)What I will be using it for:<br>Surfing the web, e-mail, IM, Photo Editing, Google Earth, high school projects, music, and gaming (mostly Flight Simulator X).<br><br>2)My Configuration:<br> FREE Upgrade from Genuine Windows Vista Home Basic (32-bit) to Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium, Intel Core 2 Duo processor T5300 (1.73 GHz, 2MB L2 Cache, 533MHz FSB), 15.4" WXGA High-Definition HP BrightView Widescreen Display (1280 x 800), 256MB NVIDIA GeForce Go 7400, HP Imprint Finish + Webcam + Microphone, Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection, 160GB 5400RPM HDD, DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive, HP Expresscard TV Tuner for Windows Vista Notebooks, 12 Cell Lithium Ion Battery<br>note:I am also getting the dock that has a 300 GB 7200 RPM HDD<br><br>3)Is there anything I can do to make this better?<br>I have a budget of $1700 and with this configuration, it's $1665. If you can, please reply.
-
eh..... cnet give ratings on how good the laptop is, not how good they are for the money,<br>which is better imo, because you know if you think its worth the money,, cnet don't know your budget so they can't say whether its good for you.<br>obviously its gonna be better with more ram, but hp are giving one to keep the price down
-
I think this is the first production laptop which I've seen that allows the owner to play music/vids without actually running windows. I definately believe this is a major buying point for consumers.

Now that I have DV6375us for the last two months. I fully agree with CNET's review. It is OK laptop - takes ages to start and isn't particularly fast. The worst part is they don't even send you recovery CDs for the O/S installed on the system in case any thing goes bad. I have used over 10 different makes (IBM T42, Panasonic-W4, DELL E1505, Fujitsu Lifebook and Apple Mac Book) in the last few years, and I don't know what is spectacular in this laptop. Try comparatively priced Toshiba, Sony, IBM, DELL, ACER all will give you the same feeling of at least "spectacular" and possibly more. If I have known about poor HP service support and non-existent repair service two months ago, I would not have bought this. They have my other HP laptop (still in warranty) for the last two months and have failed to return it despite numerous calls and dozens of emails. The hard part is they don't even respond or acknowledge your messages. A product is the sum total of its design, performance and service So, what is spectacular about that?
-
blazin, great review. However; I found this laptop under "budget laptops". Now, as is it would be a budget laptop, but, jack up the ram and change the battery, video card and whatever else you were ranting about and it is no longer a budget laptop. Keep up the good work but, lay off the caffine. Shaftk

I wouldn't call myself an "Avid" gamer, but i do enjoy a good head-shot now and then. Customizing on HP.com as well as costco.com, i could only go as high as the Nvidia Geforce Go 7400 graphics card (on the dv6000t - the 9000t can get the Nvidia Go 7600). I can't find any info on this card (the 7400). Gaming isn't hugely important to me (if it was i'd get a desktop), but it is a dealbreaker if i can't play at least mid range games (UT2004, Company of Heroes, Quake 4, etc. and maybe some simmilar games coming out in the near future). Will the 7400 graphics card be able to handle these? I really like the dv6000t, i just need to get an OK on the graphics card and i'm sold.<br>Thanks for your help!

The review and reviewer are hideous. But then again, I come from the days of Desmond Crisis hence, I have the ability to judge talent from that perspective. Cnet fell a long, long way down and I only occasionally visit. It was the Google of its day but Cnet has become a joke and the only thing keeping it just slightly aloft is the users who contribute - NOT the Senior this-and-that blowhard. The laptop is awesome. Go to a store and check it out. You'll probably buy one like I did.
-
Thank for all the comments about hp dv6000, I have learn alots just read all the comment, the problem that I have come about is no webcam, I purchase from Best buys that was the last them when talking to the saleman he took me about the webcam, do I get the wrong laptop.
-
hey. Awesome review by the way. didn't really think cnet would be so biased.<br><br>I currently own a zd8000 P4 notebook and want to trade it in. Not sure if you're familiar with it, but it's got some seriously loud fans and no battery life. <br><br>With your dv6000t, exactly what is the range you get on battery life with the 6 cell? And do you know what it is with a 12 cell or do you not own one? Plus you said there are fans, but they're not very loud right? Because I hate the ones on my laptop. The thing actually overheats and shuts off randomly. Very frustrating.<br><br>How hot will the laptop get? Specifically where you rest your wrists to type. My zd8000 will get very hot over the keyboard and especially under the right wrist. I take my battery out when it's plugged in, but it still runs very hot. <br><br>Hopefully if I can get my hands on a dv6000t it will be a good switch from the one that I have right now. <br><br>thanks.

I just got this laptop with Windows Vista few days ago. I am thrilled with this machine. It's so slick and fast, does everything I need and then some !...I love the new Vista running on this thing. Comes with a remote control, soft buttons to control multimedia, aaaand Vista supports the Speech recognition that works ! The screen is crisp and very nice, albeit a bit glary but hey that's the price you pay for a high resolution screen. Furthermore it's easy to clean without damaging your LCD. I would give this laptop a 9 if I do the review....
-
thank you for your smart and expert evaluation report.cnet is turned bit commercial and the guys there should do more profound evaluations on an unbiased basis.<br>regards<br>amr kamal a recent buyer of this nice machine.
-
I really appreciate your post. I bought one of these about two weeks ago and you answered all the questions I had about CNET's review. They should offer you the reviewing job!!! Instead of being elitist and snotty about the features of the computer, you showed us the real specs from a user's perspective rather than a critic's. Great job. HP owes you for protecting their reputation!
-
Not that I disagree that CNET can be bias sometimes...but I'm kind of glad I didn't get the dv6000t. <br><br>I had every intention of getting one and placed my order but the idiots at HP couldn't verify my credit card correctly. So my order was declined...<br><br>Who cares though. If they can't verify information correctly then I definately don't want them to build my unit. And don't get me started on their ridiculous phone system. <br><br>So instead I purchased the Gateway NX860XL...which wound up beaing cheaper than the HP dv6000t after my customization. <br><br>At a little under 1900 it was great, especially since the HP was over 2,000 when I finished. A couple hundred bucks or so saved. For a better computer too. These prices are...after taxes and shipping. <br><br>For the most part they are the same...100GB 7200RPM, 2Gig RAM, blah blah...The one difference being that the HP has only the Ge Force Go 7600 while the Gateway has the 7900, BUT only in 256 MB, instead of HP's 512. A fact that hung me up for awhile, but after asking teachers and doing my research, checking clock times and all that I found that the the 7900 hundred (newer model) is better. At face value...but a BIG shock. <br><br>Anyway, not to disagree but simply making a point that even though the review might've been biased...honestly...there ARE better notebooks out there...for a better price.
-
i wanted to know because im getting ready to buy one of these but i dont know what model i first wanted the dv60000t but the i came across the dv9000t..because i actually like the extra #pad..but then they have the 900z which is slightly cheaper the only drawback for that one is the amd processor which sucks that they dont provide the (core duo)so basically i cant make my decision need some help on this.ok.. would really appreciate it..alright hope ypu get back..bye.

What are the main differences between the HP Pavilion dv2000t and dv6000t? Thanks in advance, as I'm just trying to decide which one to buy.<br><br>-DZ
-
Blaze, I think you have mentioned that there is a spot to place remote on the laptop. can you exactly explain the location of the spot?
-
I want to thank you for taking the time to write this review. After reading Cnet's review I almost didn't purchase this computer. I went ahead and placed my order anyway (I haven't received it yet) and then came back to Cnet to re-read their review and see why did it get such a low rating. I then decided to read the users reviews as well. Once I did, I realized how Cnet, as well as any other sites that review products, should be a lot more objective with their reviews as it can sway consumers opinions, especially of those inexperienced ones like me.

I am now doing my customizing for an HP 6000 t laptop and I need your suggestion:<br><br>- I own a small business<br>- I also use my laptop for playing movies<br>- I do not play games with it<br>- I download music, movies, books etc.<br>- I like to tinker with making websites etc.<br>- I like to chat, surf<br>- I answer emails almost all day and make notes in my laptops etc.<br><br>1.

I'm dissappointed that CNET didn't give this laptop a fair rating and review.

You're right. I was just about to write a review about the same thing when I saw yours. Thanks for saving me the time of typing it. Cnet needs to reevaluate this <img border="0" src="http://www.cnet.com/i/mb/emoticons/sad.gif" alt=":(">

hey man thanx for the advice so much i tottally agree with you and i was just wondering if the laptop is good overall because i am proably going to get the 14.1 inche display with 2 gig ram.

Had already decided to buy this laptop and then decided to check the reviews... just in case.<br><br>When I saw the CNet rating I almost had a coronary. (Envisioned more months of searching for the correct laptop....as they changed on a daily basis.)<br><br>Fortunately, I read your review. You confirmed what I thought when I played with it at various vendors.<br><br>Went out and ordered it today. Best price is at Office Depot and was advertised in this past week's slick in the paper. You get a decent Intel Core2 Duo processor (1.66 GHz - T5500), 2GB RAM, 100GB hard drive, NVidia GeForce 256Mb card, Intel Pro Wireless a/b/g, 15.4" WXGA BriteView Widescreen, and DVD burner w/double layer all for $999.99 . It involves some rebates, but, that's the cheapest I've found.<br><br>You can also upgrade to add various things, i.e., add Bluetooth to the Networking Card, XP Pro, 120GB Hard drive. Plus, their price for Office Basic is only 99.00. Everyone else wants $125+.<br><br>I looked EVERYWHERE. HP, Costco, Wal-Mart and a number on the web. This was the best price I could find for what I needed.<br><br>Would have liked to upgrade the processor, but, I'll live.<br><br>Anyway... Thanks for the review. You confirmed my decision and for a computer illiterate, such as myself, that's comforting.

Been researching laptops for MONTHS. Of course, they change daily... so, you see my dilemma.<br><br>Had finally decided on the HP6000t and before I bought it, I thought I'd check CNET's review. Was disappointed when I saw the low rating from the reviewers, but then, I read ALL of your comments.<br><br>I noticed the whole speed (RAM) thing and I'm a computer idiot. What were they thinking?<br><br>Since my primary need for power revolves around Photoshop, I'm concerned that the duo processor may not meet my needs. Haven't been able to figure out if the processor can use all the memory on one program. But, at least when Norton runs Live Update in the middle of some photo editing, my machine won't virtually stop everything else. (Gonna change that Anti-Virus, too... it's obese from eating the speed!!)<br><br>Yeah... I know if I really want Photoshop to run well, I should buy a bigger/badder laptop, but, it's a hobby... not a job. So, the HP6000t should suffice. (I hope!! Every computer purchase is a leap of faith.)<br><br>Going to buy it today.... with 2GB RAM. Thanks for your comments. Especially how to get to the BIOS sound option. Never would have figured that out.

I have been shopping for a laptop. I went to six different manufacturers sits and built laptops according to the specs I want and hp is far less expensive with the same hardware.
-
They haven't offered you a job yet? I Was reading reviews on laptops and I think I will stop with yours. You made my decision easy.
-
Thanks for the information. I'm sure HP appreciated 'your review' of the cnet review as well.<br>I'm hunting for a 'laptop' and the price range is around $800. Looking for a product that would offer multimedia capabilities, etc. I'd rather ask the tech community their thoughts then read the reviews- 'case in point'.<br>Thanks!
-
I liked your feedback from their review it was very informative. I'm going to buy this in a couple of days and needed some good opinions about it. Although I don't plan on buying the t but the z, so I'm sure it'll be beautiful.

When a serious error is reported, any responsible organization put up either rebuttal or support note. As a serious CNET reader I expect a detailed response from editors!
