    Hi all,

    Do any one of you have any idea on the battery performance with the integrated graphics card as opposed to the dedicated? I am in the market for the dv2500t, for now they have the integrated card which for my needs would be fine, but was wondering if I did wait for the 8xxx cards, how much would it decrease the battery life? Also, from what I read the high 6 cell battery performs better than the regular 6 cell by more than 16% that the hp site says, is that really true? thanks in advance!

    I have the exact same question. Could I just add,

    Does anyone have a rough idea of when the 8XXX cards will be inside the dv2500? Before July?
