    Hi guys,

    I'm in trouble to buy a DV5 (1199) or a HDX16 (1260).
    The HDX16 has bigger HD, video card and a wonderfull monitor while the DV5
    is lighter and cheaper (I can save 400 euro and the specs are enough for me).

    But the real problem is that in my understanding the DV5 has some problem with the warming (in particular there is a very hot point just near the touchpad) and some "click" in the audio, using the WiFi.

    Have you some experience on that? Can you suggest me something to make the right choose?

    thx in advance.

    g.

    thx,

    do you think that 400 euro is the price of the difference between these 2 laps?
