As I mentioned yesterday in a different thread, I am considering the DV7T. Could anyone tell me about the quality of the keyboard/trackpad and screen?
For some reference, I have gone to the local electronics stores several times of the last few weeks, and I really don't like the feel of any of the NEC, Toshiba, Panasonic, or Fujitsu models (in Japan and these are the only brands the locals carry). I did however, really like the keyboard and trackpad on the new Sony F series, and I like the trackpad on the previous F even better.
Just by going by specs, the DV7T has 2 big advantages over the new F series, the ability to have 2 hard drives and price. However, just looking at the keyboard from pics and videos, it doesn't look so good, and it seems the biggest complaint is about the screen.

All you Pavilion series owners, could anyone give some quick comment on this? Would really appreciate anyone who could take the time to do so.

well.. I have a pavillion dv8t quad cto, and I have to say, the screen is magnificent!! All of the pictures are crisp and there are no dead pixels. It's HP consumers line so the quality isn't awesome. I'm not sure about the dv7's screen. However, I have to say one thing: the trackpad is terrible!!! There is too much friction and the pad is a fingerprint magnet. It looks like a mirror first then it turns into uhhh... lol
Overall, I'm quite happy with the dv8t -
I have a DV7 and the display is weak and too much reflective for me and have not good angles. But if you put it in correct position it is good enough. Passable.
This kind of opinions can be very dependant on eyesighting and tastes of the person so take it with a grain of salt. Nothing replaces seeing it yourself.
My trackpad is metallic and enough slippery and it is the first trackpad i can like using despite being a mouse man.
