The display on Pavillion DV6842TX are superb! The glossy WXGA LCD of this laptop really shines when watching movies. The only downside of Pavillion DV6842TX display are the small maximum resolution size of 1280px x 800px.

The built in sound are truly amazing considering the small size of the speaker packed into the Pavillion DV6842TX. But don’t compare it to a full fledged desktop speaker. Considering the speaker function on a laptop, it is doing its job well.

The same can be said on the keyboard layout of Pavillion DV6842TX. The keyboard are comfortable to use to begin with. With respect to the layout, size and key feedback which work really well on this laptop. So does the touchpad on Pavillion DV6842TX.
