Skip Yes, I saw that option. I'm hesitant about making the leap to Blu though, since I can barely afford my DVD habit as it is.  I think upgrading to the discreet video is a no-brainer...I've never been a fan of the integrated video. Is the difference between the Intel T4300 and T6600 really big, or is the T4300 adequate for general usage (I'm not a gamer, but I'd probably watch the occasional movie on it)? | | | | My phpDVDprofiler collection |

| | Posted: | | | | I think the T6600 is a much better chipset. You can probably get specifics on it from intel.

Well, this is what I am buying ... Build date is set for around Dec. 3rd. Spent $1,000 and change.
HP Pavilion dv7t Quad Edition customizable Notebook PC Sounds good and should be sufficient for the next couple of years. Just make sure to clean up your new machine when it arrives. Means: Put in the installation disc of Win7 and make a clean install (including new partitions of the HDD). HP is usually stuffed with crapware and the default partitions of the HDD are more like a joke than really useful. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

Skip I did a little looking into this, and it appears the T6600 performs about 21% better than the T4300. I also added up the numbers, upgrading both systems so they are identical, and the BF deal comes out to $684 and the company model comes out to $719. BF deal, here I come! | | | | My phpDVDprofiler collection |

• Bright, glossy widescreen 15.6 WLED display (1366x768) Glossy screen show colors better, but on a laptop, id stay away from it. But if you only use the laptop at night time then its ok Personally id never ever buy a laptop again with a glossy screen. I once tried it outside, there was literally no angle where you could see the whole screen at once. Kinda takes away the usability of a laptop. | | | | Last edited: by whispering |

I once tried it outside, there was literally no angle where you could see the whole screen at once. Kinda takes away the usability of a laptop. The problem is that you really have a hard time to find a non-glossy screen in the mid-price segment of the laptop market. There are some, but usually they cost about twice as much as NewEnglander paid. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
