Reviews of the HP Pavilion dv6985se

CNET Review
The Good: Beautiful, unique design; incredible battery life, thanks to its 12-cell battery; comfortable keyboard; touchpad on/off button; touch-sensitive media controls; dual headphone jacks.
The Bad: Battery adds significant weight; speakers produce treble sound.
The Bottom Line: The HP Pavilion dv6985se is a well-stocked mainstream machine with a long-living (though heavy) 12-cell battery. We recommend it, provided you like the unique copper-colored case and are willing to schlep around 6.6 pounds of laptop.
