    :) Hey Im looking to pick up a used DV9500 from a guy and he says it has 3 gigs of ram and a 2.4ghz processor. Im just not sure if its a DV9500 t or Z or is there just a plain DV9500??? Hes not sure what the model extension is, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    why dont you ask him? you really gotta know what your buying first.

    tell him to give you the product id code, and you just type that in on the hp website and it will tell you what model and all the software/drivers for it

    There is only a T/Z (no plain) I dont think the T was ever offered with a 2.4GHz. so its probably Z, but im not positive

    just bring up device manager and collapse the processor list. if is intel it is a t, if it is amd it is a z. i think the intel T7700 is a 2.4GHz processor. i dont even think amd has that high.

    it will have other international suffixes if it was preconfigure for another continent. however preconfigure notebook also has additional number. it would be a dv95xx where x are different numbers. if it is just dv9500 it is a CTO customized to order.
