Question:
dv2000t vs dv6000t
SO I'm looking to get a new laptop. I've configured these two computers, the dv2000t/dv6000t, exactly the same and the 6000t would be $40 more. So I guess the difference is the size, video card (the 6000t has 128 dedicated, 128 shared while the 2000t is worse off), that's the only differences.
I like portability, but i'm not going to be hauling around a notebook around anywhere except aroudn the house, but have never had a 15.4" laptop. Are they really that much bigger than the 14 inch oneS? I do notice that the resolution is the same though, no matter which one i get. So would I even notice the extra inch and a half?
I do a lot of video watchin on my current laptop and it's 14.1 and seems perfect size, but a little bigger could be better. What do you guys think?

Since the resolution is the same, I say the 14" notebook since you desire portability.

Do you game at all? If not, as Zaz said, the dv2000t would be the better choice. Well, on second thought, it actually all depends. Have you actually seen a 15.4" laptop on display? Did you find it too big and cumbersome to carry around?

no i haven't really seen it on display. i've seen many 15.4'' and they seem bulky, but this one doesn't seem to look bulky.

Since the resolution is the same, I would recommend the 2000. With the 6000 you are carrying more weight around with no increase in resolution.
If you're a gamer, then...well...use a desktop :p

I personally wouldn't consider a 15.4" all that portable. 14", maybe, 13" and down, definately.

For point to point travel it could probably work, but I wouldn't want to carry it all day.

I have the dv2000t and my wife has a 15" (not HP, but according to the specs hers is just about exactly the size of the 6000t). The difference in size is more than I would have thought.
If you put it in a messenger bag, like I do, the 14" is about the same size as my notepad (well, thicker, but anyway) while the 15" is pretty noticeably larger. And I notice the 1lb difference on my lap too.
I'm glad I got the 14", but YMMV
