    What do you think is the best value of the two above, the DV7 is 50 euro more than the dV5.

    Obvious changes I see.

    DV5 has Blue Ray, DV7 does not
    DV7 has 17.1 Screen DV5 has 15.6
    DV7 has 2.13Ghz CPU and DV5 has 2.00Ghz P Series Core 2 Duo
    DV7 has 1GB more RAM
    DV5 has bigger HD by 70GB
    DV5 has 256MB Radeon 3450 graphics whilst DV7 has NVIDIA 9200S 512MB

    I'm tempted to get the DV7 for the CPU and bigger screen and better graphics memory, but would it be worth it?
