    Questions:

    Does the backlight keyboard make the computer hotter and is it noticeable?

    If you close the computer can you keep it running? (such as for a server).

    How many FPS can you get in minecraft on this pc?

    What things are essential to upgrade?

    Should I pay the extra $150 for a better screen?

    Is it worth 170 dollars to switch from the 2.3 ghz to the 2.6 ghz and willl it make a difference in gaming?

    What is the difference between the WLAN and the WLAN+bluetooth?

    How fast can you over-clock each of the processors that work with the dv*t?

    When would be the most strategic time to buy the dv6t or dv7t?

    Thank you if you would answer these. If you have other questions please add
    them.

    Does the backlight keyboard make the computer hotter and is it noticeable?
    Nope, it does not bother key sensitivity either.

    If you close the computer can you keep it running? (such as for a server).
    I've never done so, but there is a way to change what closing the computer lid does. Also if you change the settings under the 'power saving options' you can make sure it never goes into sleep mode.

    How many FPS can you get in minecraft on this pc?
    No idea the FPS, but I can run minecraft/ a minecraft server with no hiccups whilst using two screens whilst editing videos/music/pictures

    What things are essential to upgrade?
    Graphics card (to the 2gb if your doing artsy things)
    Screen
    Hard drive (though you may want to get one seperatly now that they have lame options)

    Should I pay the extra $150 for a better screen?
    It depends. The 1080p screen is breath taking, and awesome for picture editing and other visual things. If your just going to be using the computer for minecraft or a few other games, you may want to save the cash. However, I've read some bad reviews on the other screen, so you may want to just look around and see whats what.

    Is it worth 170 dollars to switch from the 2.3 ghz to the 2.6 ghz and willl it make a difference in gaming?
    From what i've read, no

    What is the difference between the WLAN and the WLAN+bluetooth?
    People have been saying that the WLAN+bluetooth comes with a better card than just the WLAN, but I've noticed little to no difference. Bluetooth just means you can use wireless bluetooth things with your computer. For example, instead of using a USB hub to connect your mouse to the computer, you just find it via bluetooth. It's like your phone or something having bluetooth.

    How fast can you over-clock each of the processors that work with the dv*t?
    Not sure, haven't seen any benchmarks

    When would be the most strategic time to buy the dv6t or dv7t?
    HP is constantly rolling out decent coupons, just await a really good one. The last one out was a 30% off one, the one before that was 400$ off. just await the next big one.

    Thank you if you would answer these. If you have other questions please add
