My HP DV3500t / DV3510nr Review

[howard911s]

Hey Isom. thx for reply, they have 18 months going on, but I have too many credit card, newegg card, sony card, circuit city card, if you know what i mean lol. Question, as to your DV3510NR, how is the heat and noise, lets say quiet room at night, when u dont wanna turn on ur desktop, just leave the laptop on for download and on all night near you. How is the fan noise level and heat?

I am extremely sensitive to noise and heat, and sony is the one I have confidence are always quiet, other HP I had were all good cept for the loud fan noise......

Re: dv3510 nr Is the mute button that's to the left of the volume slider control supposed to work by just swiping a finger across it or do you have to mute the computer by going down to the system tray and do it form there.
My mute button won't work by swiping it, but does work when I go down to the system tray to mute the comp. Could it be defective?

you have to sorta hold your finger down on it a bit (keep it there for a second)


on another note.... the screen flex, it is kinda worrisome as i have to take it back and forth to class everyday. Guess I'll just have to be extra careful...

I only have a couple of laptops that I've used more than casually to compare it to, but it's pretty quiet during normal use. Of course when you start doing more graphics-intensive things and the fan kicks on, it creates a little more noise, but not much. It does get a bit warm during gaming and high-intensive CPU tasks, but for me it's pretty manageable. It's still cooler than my girlfriend's Vaio 15.4" laptop with integrated graphics. That being said, I haven't left it on for more than a couple of hours. No big downloads yet.

So, I think in terms of the average laptop, it runs pretty cool and quiet. Hope that helps!

Anyone else have anything to add?

Hi, thx for info.

I'm interested in the dv3510nr. But it is not available with blu-ray. Is it possible to swap out later with blu-ray drive?

Thanks!

Multi touch on the ALPS touch pad?
does it work?
