Envy m6-1205dx D1C68UAR 15.6" LED AMD A-Series A10-4600M 2.30GHz 6GB RAM 750GB HDD 64-bit Win8 Notebook - Refurbished Review

I bought an HP envy m6 at Best Buy about four months ago (June 2013) and it seemed a capable little machine, definitely good for the price.

Windows 8 was a big negative, but almost all new laptops come with it installed now, and there have been some improvements made with 8.1.

Last week the laptop stopped recognizing my battery and would not charge it. I wasted about six hours troubleshooting this issue myself, and then went to HP support since I was still under the manufacturers warranty. After an hour on the phone, they told me that the battery had died and sent me a new one that arrived in less than 48 hours. The new battery did not fix the problem. Unfortunately, the only other possibility at this point is that the part of the motherboard that detects the battery had become defective somehow. I suspected this was the problem when initially troubleshooting this issue, as my google searches revealed that this has been an issue for HP since Windows 7. Apparently their laptops heat up and burn out the diode that detects the battery.

Obviously this issue won't effect everyone, but it will likely effect some people. Here is my explanation for the three star rating:

It would have been five stars based on "bang for the buck" performance but...

- 1 star: No linux support for drivers. This is bad for developers and other technical types. You CAN install Linux / dual boot to Linux on this device, but some features will not work, especially dual monitor display.

-1 star: Motherboard burned out, and this had been a long term issue for HP that they've yet to resolve. I wouldn't recommend purchasing this laptop, especially if you're a developer. I'm currently creating a new image backup so that I can send my new laptop back to HP for who knows how long for a replacement.

In all... its okay, but you're rolling the dice if you purchase this product. I wouldn't recommend it.
