    Does anyone have a Dv2 with the X2 yet?

    I'm curious about your opinions. I've seen some videos of it and I think I want to get it.

    It's mostly going to be a torrent box for me with maybe some light photoshop and office work.

    So please, tell me your opinions!

    Looking forward to it trentbg. Another review of the dv2z with the dual core turion came out yesterday. I question some of their benchmark numbers due to the similarity with those of the single core cpu done here at nbr, but here it is: http://www.chipchick.com/2009/07/hp_pavilion_dv2_review.html

    Overall, the review seems quite positive. As everyone else has said, great build quality.

    Thank you for the new link Commander Data, you find them quickly indeed.
    I am in a process of taking pictures and preparing for the review.

    From the few benchmarks I ran on mine, all the scores where almost exactly the same, but I only ran two or three, didn't have enough time to run a full gambit of them.
