I'm going to buy a notebook, I'm choosing between these two. The dv5t has better specs for the money, more accesories and is cheaper. But the 8510p has magnesium body parts, looks like it has better made body and less problems with heating, 3y warranty. It has half gaming performance as the dv5t but twice as battery time as dv5t. And is like +20% more expensive. Is it worth going for 8510p? The dv5t looks great, very powerful but with major flaws (heating, battery time, consumer body, glossy screen ).
I'm kinda confused with choosing "the one" Thanks for any advice for me... Is it worth to pay the extra money for business notebook? What is actually the "business notebook"? I will travel with it alot, work on battery, do general office stuff, play sometimes.

A business notebook typically looks better (less flashy) in a corporate environment.
If I were you I would consider looking at the HP Business outlet at hp.com.
You can find great deals on all there business notebooks, and still get it with a full three year warranty.
