At this price there are bound to be compromises, but none of them prevent the HP Pavilion dv6-1210sa from being a commendable effort. While its application performance is merely okay and its battery life quite poor, unlike many sub-£500 laptops it can play games competently provided they're not too demanding. Add to this a decent chassis, excellent connectivity and a good selection of features and it's definitely worth considering.
