Reviews of the HP Pavilion dv6915nr

CNET Review
The Good: Attractive design; decent battery life; comfortable keyboard; touch pad on/off button; touch-sensitive media controls; dual headphone jacks.
The Bad: Mediocre performance on benchmarks; speakers produce treble sound.
The Bottom Line: The well-designed HP Pavilion dv6915nr incorporates most of the features you'll need for school, but other 15.4-inch laptops offer better performance for the same price.
