So chévere! I already told you about many of its features, including: The 2nd generation Intel Core i3 Processor in the first post and, HP SimplePass, HP CoolSense, as well as Chat in HD with the HP TrueVision HD Webcam in my second post.

Now let me tell you a little more before we get to the giveaway!

As a music lover, one thing I love to do when I’m online is to either listen to streaming music or watch music videos. The HP Pavilion dv6, thanks to its speed and clarity, delivers clean images and video, but the most awesome thing about it, is the “Beats Audio” speakers.

“Beats Audio” was developed in collaboration with Iovine and none other than rapper/record producer Dr. Dre. By working with Dr. Dre, they ensured that the “Beats Audio” quad speakers deliver crisp, full sound – music the way the artist intended it to be heard. On the HP Pavilion dv6 you can definitely turn up the volume on your favorite salsa, merengue, bachata or whatever música gets you and the niños moving!

Now that you’re properly pumped up – are you ready for the giveaway? ¡Vámonos! Here’s what you need to know…

HP Pavilion dv6 Features:

• HP SimplePass is something I only discovered last night. This feature is so futuristic that when I found out what it was, I could hardly believe that this technology was available for regular consumers. HP SimplePass is a tiny fingerprint scanner which is embedded into the lower right quadrant of the keyboard area. The purpose? After you set it up, you can simply swipe your finger and the computer will fill in account usernames and passwords to log you into websites. Chécalo!

This is a totally useful time-saver for forgetful kids who already have too much on their minds. My teenage son can never remember his E-mail password. My only concern in using this feature is getting dependent on it and then being completely lost when trying to access accounts from another computer – so make sure account usernames and passwords are written down somewhere safe if they’re ever needed.

• HP CoolSense technology equals a laptop that stays cool whether you’re at a desk or on the sofa. What does that mean for your student? A computer that remains at a comfortable temperature and also – more importantly – that they won’t lose their work! (Anyone who has had a laptop overheat and consequently shutdown before they could save their document knows the horror of which I speak.)

• Chat in HD with the HP TrueVision HD Webcam – We used this to chat with family via Skype. The picture and sound are fantastic even with a TV on in the background and in a room with low lighting. A student could easily use this feature to collaborate with a classmate on a group project.

Next week I’ll go over some other features including Beats Audio and Intel Graphics. (And yes, of course, we’ll open up the giveaway too!)

Stay tuned!

The 2nd generation Intel Core i3 Processor keeps this laptop running smoothly no matter what I’m doing, which is typically a dozen things at once. You see, the processor is the “brains” of the computer and quicker processing translates to seamless multi-tasking, faster loading, and clear videos and graphics.

My very favorite thing about this laptop is the keyboard. I don’t think I’ve ever typed on a keyboard this comfortable. The keys have a very nice texture, just the right amount of resistance and the touchpad isn’t too touchy like many other laptops I’ve tried. I’ve been using this computer for 3 days now, and not once have I accidentally activated the touchpad.

Speaking of the keyboard – Do you know how to easily type accented characters in Spanish? All you have to do is hold down the ALT key while typing a number. Here are the codes you need!

á = 160
é = 130
í = 161
ó = 162
ú = 163
ñ = 164
¿ = 168
¡ = 173

(You can print those out until you get them memorized!)

Stay tuned because next week we’ll be telling you all the great ways students can make use of the HP Pavilion dv6, and how you could win one! Not a giveaway you want to miss, so make sure you’re subscribed to receive our posts via an RSS Feed or email.
