Unboxing Live 036: HP Pavilion DV6885SE Special Edition notebook

Posted by Andru Edwards
Categories: Features, Laptop, PC, Videocasts


We open up the Pavilion DV6885 notebook in this edition of Unboxing Live. We were completely amazed back when we saw it at , because of what we consider to be the machine’s striking beauty. If you are looking for a computer that goes against the status quo in the looks department, check this one out. The copper finish (which I believe is officially called “Clay” by HP) is as against the grain as you are going to get - plus, the specs aren’t too shabby either. You can find this one online for about $1,000 USD. Full feature list after the jump.

Check out the video above for the full unboxing. If you are interested, check out our other .

    Cool Video.  How did you make your background?  Are you still in your kitchen?  Can you do a video on how you made the background.  Thanks.

    My cousin has this laptop and I think it looks cool.  I was gonna get this one, but I got the new HP dv2800t Artist Edition instead, which is really nice.  I think HP makes the nicest laptops.  Many people would still prefer matte finishes, but glossy just makes everything look nice.  Just look at Dell and Toshiba.  They are releasing new glossy laptops with designs on them, but they are no where near to what HP has.

    HP makes the best laptops!  This laptop design is very unique and I like it.  If I ever get a laptop I’m definitely going with HP.

    I would love to have this laptop. The 256 mb graphics card and fast processor would be great for games. Not to mention it looks cool too.

    HP is WOWing us, the cost is also good for the features you get. But it’s not good for gaming.

    It actually has NVIDIA GeForce Go 8400M GS ((((((( 256MB )))) dedicated graphic memory, it’s not measured by how much the shared graphic memory is. Performance is affected by many specs, the final judge depends on the model of the graphic card that is attached. You can google for benchmarks for 8400M (256MB) and 8800M (512MB) for example. See how many FPS each one can do and you will notice the difference.

    Well, when you are used to 64 megs of ram on a graphics card, 256 sounds awesome.
