Amazon Black Friday Deals and Amazon Prime is a post by Carter Sprunger from Notebooks.com.

The Pavilion DV6 line is an HP’s mainstream consumer entertainment notebook. It balances portability, performance and styling. These are good workhorse laptops with a  battery rated to run at the the most 4 hours.

This laptop comes with an AMD Phenom II Triple-Core Mobile Processor N830, running at 2.1GHz. It also has 4 GB DDR3 with a max of 8GB supported. The hard drive is a fast 320GB 7200RPM Hard Drive.

The 15.6” HP BrightView LED Display has a pretty average resolution of 1366 x 768 powered by an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 Graphics with 128MB display memory. That is bare minimum HD capable of 720p video.

All of that means this is not a low-powered computer near the netbook quality, like some of the Black Friday deals we’ve seen. It should handle most tasks the average user will throw at it, including the basics like Internet, email and document creation. But it will do a lot more with decent enough graphics to play some video games, of course watch DVDs or streaming HD video, and some video/image editing. At only 3-4 hours of battery life don’t get too far from a power outlet.

It has an 8X DVD±R/RW with Double Layer Support and Dolby Advanced Audio with Altec Lansing speakers. So firing up a movie in the dorm room or around the house will be an enjoyable experience.

This model has the HP Imprint finish with the link design in Argento. It is a brushed aluminum finish, which is a textured and not just a smooth piece of fingerprint magnet plastic. Throw in an HP TrueVision Webcam, integrated digital microphone, 5-in-1 integrated card reader, and this has all you need for Skype and video chat as well as importing digital photos and videos.

To get on the Internet or a home network it has a 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet LAN  port as well as wireless LAN 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi.

There are 4 USB2.0 ports. The 4th port is also a shared eSATA port. There is an HDMI for hooking up to an HD TV for movie watching or doing presentations. Other ports and connectors include a VGA, headphone-out and microphone-in.

An interesting feature is the fingerprint scanner. It will let you log into not only the system, but also favorite web sites with just a swipe of your finger.

There have been a number of these HP DV6 laptops on Black Friday lists from other stores. For example Best Buy has one for about just $25 less with an Intel Core i3 processor and the same memory but slightly more hard drive space. However, Best Buy’s deal will require you to get in line. Also BJ’s Wholesale Club has one for the same price as the Best Buy deal. In fact the one at BJ’s is nearly identical except for the processor is not as fast as the Amazon deal. At only $25 we say go with the Amazon deal, especially over the one at BJ’s. Fair warning; this one has some mixed reviews on Amazon.

Below is an overview of the various Pavilion notebooks from HP. The DV6 is one of those shown.

Black Friday: Amazon Selling Thousands of Movies at up to 80% Off is a post by Xavier Lanier from Notebooks.com.

Amazon Prime is a special membership for Amazon.com customers which lets people who enroll enjoy free two-day shipping on all their purchases. Members can also opt to pay a small fee of $3.99 to get the item delivered in one day! Unfortunately, an Amazon Prime membership is somewhat costly; it comes with a $79 dollar annual fee, paid once per year. While this is a bargain for people who do most of their shopping through Amazon, the fee is difficult to justify for the casual Amazon bargain hunter.

Fortunately, Amazon allows new customers to try the service without any additional cost for up to 1 month. As long as you cancel your free trial on time or disable the auto renewal process, you’ll get free two-day shipping on all your Amazon purchases for a month without having to pay a cent! This sweetens all the current Black Friday/Cyber Monday offers and will help make your holiday shopping a breeze.

How to Sign Up for a Trial

If you’d like to sign-up for a free 1 month trial of Amazon Prime, click on this link or the image at the top. Once you follow the pretty straightforward instructions, you’ll get free two-day shipping on all your Amazon purchases!

The above link will only work if no one in your household has ever had a free trial of Amazon Prime. Otherwise, your trial won’t be processed or will be cancelled.

Don’t be afraid or turned off by the $79.00 annual fee- there’s a very easy way to disable the auto-renewal option and guarantee that you won’t be charged after your trial is over:

1. Navigate to the “Your Account” section of Amazon.com. It’s accessible on any page of Amazon.com, as shown below:

2. When you’re redirected to the Your Account page, click on “Manage Prime Membership” under the “More Order Actions” column in the “Orders” row.

3. Here, you’ll be able to manage your Amazon Prime Subscription. As a default, your trial is set to auto-renew. Fortunately, it’s very easy to turn off! Click the Do Not Upgrade button, as shown below:

4. A pop-up will come up on the same page. Click the “Turn off auto-upgrade” button on the left to complete the process and avoid a charge in the future!

5. If you want to make sure that Amazon Prime won’t continue charging you, take a peek at the Membership Information box. If you followed the steps correctly, it should read “Your trial membership will not upgrade to a full membership automatically…

Concluding Thoughts

However, I wouldn’t disable auto-renewal right away. If you try Amazon Prime and like it, you may want to swallow the fee. There’s something rewarding about placing an order at Amazon.com and then having it arrive in literally two days!

If you forget to turn off auto-renewal and are charged the membership after a month, don’t despair. The fee is refundable as long as you haven’t made any purchased through Amazon Prime outside of your trial period. You should be able to get any issue worked out with Amazon’s Customer Service. Try and make the most of your trial by trying and getting all your shopping done while it’s still active!

Amazon is giving a free copy of the Guitar Hero World Tour Band Bundle with any purchase of the Xbox 360 Arcade Console made today, on November 25th. The Guitar Hero bundle usually sells for around $100, so the savings are pretty sizable!

3. If you haven’t noticed, Amazon’s normal Lightning Deals have upgraded for Black Friday, with the introduction of Black Friday Deals Week! A ton of video game offers are planned for later today. Though Amazon hasn’t officially announced the names of the products that will be sold, our friends at CheapAssGamer and Destructoid have a few guesses:

Check out the top of this page in about 6 hours to find out what games will be available. Don’t delay with your purchase- these lightning offers disappear VERY quickly and are usually only available for a couple hours!

To qualify for the special offer, access the promotion page, either by clicking here or on the image below. Select the laptop you’d like to buy, add the appropriate value gift certificate to your cart, and check out. On the last page, you’ll see that your total is reduced by the amount of your gift certificate! As with most promotions and special offers, this deal is only available for a limited time. Though the promotion is scheduled to last through December 18th, Amazon can end it whenever they choose. Make sure that you’re buying your notebook directly from Amazon when checking out; choosing a third-party seller disqualifies you. One way to check is that your order is eligibile is to make sure that the full value of the gift certificate is shown in the “Promotion Applied” section right before you check out.

If you’re having trouble deciding between the three different models available, first you need to figure out whether or not the ASUS UL Series is right for you. These notebooks aren’t built with particularly powerful hardware and aren’t meant for advanced users who’ll be run complicated and resource-heavy programs. The UL series is created specially to cater to consumers who want a long battery life and a mobile, slim computer. These machines are perfect for people who are constantly on the go and will use them for word-processing, watching movies, or accessing the Internet.

As you may have noticed, there are some differences between the three models eligible for the promotion. Though all of the notebooks are equipped with the same caliber processor, their other specifications vary. Compare their full details below before making your  purchase!
