The design is the same like the 6500, the glossy plastic engraved with art-work, it has a great flaunt value. It looks quite fragile, but on the contrary, its quite a sturdy product. The screen is a 15.4” WXGA and it offers good color quality and brightness. It supports a maximum resolution of 1280x800, and is not a very good screen for HD-videos. The keyboard is great with an excellent feel to them due to the double coating on the keys. The touchpad is large enough and has a good response, with the buttons being quite. The laptop has a plethora of connectivity options, Express Card slot, 3 USB 2.0 ports, HDMI, Firewire, S-Video, VGA, modem, Ethernet, and a 5-in-1 Card Reader.
HP Pavilion dv6700t Laptop Design and Build Quality
The dv6700t is visually identical to its predecessor the dv6500t, which was virtually identical to the dv6000t ... and with good reason. The design of the dv6000t has been very successful for HP and it is still arguably one of the best designs on the market. By using the same external casing customers get an attractive notebook and HP saves on production costs. As the old saying goes, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
HP's glossy "Imprint Finish" on the lid and palm rests remains one of the key design features of the dv6700t. HP's "Imprint Finish" isn't just paint, it's actually a complex process that starts with the molding of the plastics. The swirling design and glossy coat on the HP Imprint Finish is actually "inside" the plastic ... it isn't just a top layer that scratches off.
HP Pavilion dv6700t Screen and Webcam
The 15.4" WXGA glossy screen on the dv6700t isn't ideal for HD video, but it does offer sharp contrast, excellent color, and reasonably even backlighting. Unlike many other 15.4" 1280x800 pixel displays the screen on the dv6700t doesn't suffer from "graininess." Horizontal viewing angles were excellent although vertical viewing angles were only average. The screen itself didn't suffer from ripples, stuck pixels, or any other problems.
This notebook's 15.4" high-definition widescreen facilitates viewing; the BrightView option provides a higher contrast ratio and better viewing with DVD movies and games.
