    Hey everyone. Long time lurker, first time poster.

    I am about to purchase an HP laptop from Costco.com, and I'm a little confused about the nomenclature. Can someone tell me the difference between these two models? I checked the specs and it appears that the only differences are the G70t has a 17" screen (versus 16" on the dv6t), a little less hard drive memory (250gb versus 320gb), and one less USB port. Am I missing something here?

    Here are the specs for both:
