Depends on what you plan to use it for.

In terms of sheer power, the dv7 is "better" than the dv6 because it has a newer processor (3rd gen i7 vs 2nd gen i5), and a better screen (1600x900 vs 1366x768).

However, in terms of price efficiency, the older dv6 is "better" because its age has reduced its price by on average $100 compared to the dv7. The extra $100 is, in my opinion, not worth the slight improvement, because it will not be noticeable in every-day use.

Does keyboard on HP Pavilion dv7-4171 light up?

Typically those models do not. "dv6" just means it's between 15.6"-16" screen. It depends. (This is assuming you mean the dv6 laptops) I got a dv6 just recently and it gave me the option to add a backlit keyboard. If you have it then try looking for a button on the top row of you keyboard in the upper right hand corner next to the delete button.

Which laptop is better for gaming asus g72gx-rbbx05 or hp pavilion dv7-3085dx?

The Asus G72GX is much better for gaming because it has a GTX 260M while the HP DV7 has a GT 230M. However, the HP also has some extremely high quality parts in it. In the end, I would have to give it to Asus because they are a better brand and the video card they gave their laptop is better. The same? The HP has an i7, so It might balance out the difference between the two?
