    Thinking of buying either the DV6885 SE for $1,149 @ Best Buy or the DV6700t SE @ HP.COM for $1,287 ... The 6700t comes with extras such as an extra battery, 1 year accidental damage,fingerprint reader, etc...

    Which of these is the most recent model?

    both are Intel Penryn, tec, the DV6700 is the same proccessor as the second one except a 300mhz per core speed boast. so they are the same 'age' one just faster than the other.
