    Hello guys, I just customized a dv6500t,

    T7500 (2.20 GHz, 4 MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB)
    2GB DDR2 System Memory
    383MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS
    HP Imprint + Fingerprint Reader + Webcam + Microphone
    4965AGN Network Connection and Bluetooth
    120GB 5400RPM
    SuperMulti 8X DVD+/-R/RW
    High Capacity 6 Cell Lithium Ion Battery
    Vista Premium

    it is 1118$ plus tax and ship,

    and with the 30% coupon it is $852.59 + $72.47(tax) = $925.06

    I have 4 questions...

    1) Does it worth to get the T7500(2.2, 4mb) instead of T7250 (2.0, 2mb) for $50 ?

    2) Does 6 cell high capacity battery weights and looks same with the normal 6 cell battery? or is it bigger and heavier like 12 cells ?

    3) Do you suggest me to order the recovery dvd for $19 from HP? Is it going to work if I want to make a clean install? and I was thinking to burn one by myself after getting the laptop without dvd's...

    4) What about the fingerprint reader option? Does it worth to get it for $25 more? I never used sth like that before is it really secure and I dont know if fingerprint software is going to slow down vista etc...?

    I am going to order it as soon as I get the answers. Thank you very very much...

    2) The high capacity 6 cell is the same size as the normal 6 cell
    3) Its not worth the extra money and it does not allow you to do a bloatwareless install
