    Well this is 2 years old in Florida and is a rare event.

    usually it's around 83 or 84 celsius under heavy load.

    I'm actually a fan of coolsense, I've never had a hp laptop over heat or get uncomfortably hot, even when it's sitting on a comforter.

    The beats logo underneath the dv6t is the subwoofer, no? The vent is located on the opposite side, as you can see the fan there.

    that's not a vent, it's the sub woofer

    Congratz on the laptop and nice review!

    might be another month or 2 until I can get one since HP only gave GT 630m to the pre-configured specs in Europe and MiddleEast and I'm waiting for one with the GT 650m

    underclocking a processor to keep it from getting warm isnt a real cooling method

    at least not one that i would be proud of

    Looks like HP may have set the DPI for the overall font/screen size to maybe 150%, reset it back to 100% to gain some real estate.

    Hewlett Packard dv6z - AMD A10-4600M ' AMD Radeon HD 7730M 2GB ' 8GB DDR3-1600 ' FHD IPS
    Apple MacBook Pro - Intel i7-3615QM ' NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1GB ' 8GB DDR3L-1600 ' Retina IPS
