If HP isn't saying it does, then it doesn't at the moment. I'd bet money, however, that HP's just waiting on AMD's official drivers to support Dynamic switchable Graphics. Keep an eye on AMD's release of 11.0 drivers.

Note that a thread split was done from the old owners lounge, which was initially meant for the original HP Pavilion dv6t Quad Edition with Nehalem-based Core i7 processors released in 2009. Please use this thread instead to talk about the dv6t Quad Edition released in 2011 with Intel Sandy Bridge-based Core i7 processors. Thanks!







The HP Pavilion dv6t Quad Edition is a fourth generation dv6 notebook that features the new 2nd generation Intel Core i7 processors built on the "Sandy Bridge" micro-architecture. In addition, it features refreshed AMD Radeon 6570M graphics. Aesthetically, the dv6t Quad Edition is very similar to that of the previous generation.

I want to cry.....

I'm really torn between the 6 and 7....



I think I'm going to end up getting the 7 because the 6 the way I want it simply costs too much. A dv6 with an i7 sounds really awesome...but the price tag will be well over $1200 after taxes. That is pretty steep. The computer in my sig that I ordered last week was only $978 shipped.....

HP's site says that the 9-cell battery gets up to 10 hours of battery life, I'm wondering if this is true. Sandy Bridge AND 10 hours of battery life sounds impressive.
