    I am looking into buying the Dv6t qe with the 30% coupon. These are the specs I have:
    dark umber
    Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit with Service Pack 1
    2nd generation Intel(R) Quad Core(TM) i7-2630QM (2.0 GHz, 6MB L3 Cache) w/Turbo Boost up to 2.9 GHz
    1GB GDDR5 Radeon(TM) HD 6770M Graphics [HDMI, VGA]
    FREE Upgrade to 6GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm)
    640GB 7200RPM Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection
    No Additional Office Software
    FREE Upgrade to Norton Internet Security(TM) 2011 - 15 Month Subscription (activation required)
    30% OFF! 9-Cell Lithium-Ion Battery (over-sized) - Up to 9.75 hours of battery life +++
    15.6" diagonal High Definition HP BrightView LED Display (1366x768)
    FREE Upgrade to Blu-ray player & SuperMulti DVD burner
    HP TrueVision HD Webcam with Integrated Digital Microphone and HP SimplePass Fingerprint Reader
    Intel 802.11b/g/n WLAN and Bluetooth(R) with Wireless Display Support
    Standard Keyboard
    HP Home & Home Office Store in-box envelope

    Other forums I posted on just led to Hp hate or overheating concerns. So I decided to try an Hp owners forum to hopefully get some actual valid input from people that own this machine.

    Are there any issues that are a major deal breaker for this laptop?

    Yes I know I have the 720p screen selected, I have astigmatism and my eyes are sensitive to light, so I usually have it on 20-30% brightness anyways.
    Is the 720p monitor THAT bad or will it work for my situation?

    I am planning to use this for college/gaming.

    How is the battery life with the 9 cell battery using the integrated graphics?

    Does it heat up a lot while playing games to an uncomfortable/harmful to the systems longevity amount?

    Are you overall satisfied with the build quality of the laptop and would recommend the purchase of the Dv6t qe?

    i have the same laptop and i'm really surprised by how cool mine stays. i mostly watch a lot of video, but still it stays really cool when watching 1080p content.
