Here’s an interesting paradox: As recently as six months ago, Hewlett-Packard was actively discussing giving up its laptop business as it tried to sell its laptop segment to the highest bidder, and now it is introducing laptops that offer gaming capabilities and that sport features you find nowhere else. It is quite a turnaround.
Perhaps it was their recently, and highly publicized change at the top that left them with a quandary: “Do we leave our reasonably profitable laptop business to others, especially lower-cost computer manufacturers and let them have that business? Or, do we stay; upgrade our offerings, giving the gaming crowd what it needs – memory, quality graphics and high-speed, seamless action sequences?”
The “gaming crowd” should be pleased with the results. For example, while the DV6-6116NR offers 4 GB of DDR3 memory as standardize. This memory is upgradable to 16 GB. The beauty of having this much memory available is twofold: 1. the memory allows an image to appear smoothed and, having so much memory available when, combined with a 1.7 GB video memory cache, allows all of the video to appear in high-definition mode. Indeed, the 1377 by 766 high-definition mode.
