The one upgrade I might recommend is to the Full HD screen resolution of 1920 x 1080, this will provide full 1080p video quality playback experience. If you’re going to stream HD video via Netflix or Hulu etc. then it’s well worth getting the higher resolution monitor to support the hi-definition video otherwise you may notice some pixelation. Some other options you might consider is an upgrade to Blu-Ray for +$75, the Blu-Ray drive still supports DVD playback and burning. I think the base level Intel Core i7-2670QM Quad Core processor is more than enough for the average student, so there’s really no need to pay for an expensive $150 to a faster processor there. Since the 8GB of RAM is standard with any dv6t Quad Edition laptop there’s not even room for an upgrade there. The upgrade to a faster 750GB 7200RPM drive is only $10, so that is worth the extra price for a potential performance gain. For $25 you can upgrade to the AMD Radeon 6770m card, which I think is another worthwhile upgrade given the low cost to do so. If you have no intention of gaming ever or using 3D cad design programs then you can skip this upgrade.
Overall, for $699.99 the Core i7 Quad Core processor, 4GB of RAM, 750GB HD and dedicated graphics is a steal. The build quality of the dv6t Quad Edition laptop is outstanding, when I reviewed the dv6t Quad Edition I was thoroughly impressed with the price to feature ratio.
