    I was wondering if there's any more specs on the HP DV5237 from Costco. All it states are:

    Intel Duo Core Processor
    2GB Memory
    120GB HD
    Dual Layer DVD Burner with Lightscribe

    $1199 - $200 = $999

    Im trying to decide whether I should wait for that laptop, or get a DV5163 (not the point of this thread but yea). Im assuming its probably going to come with an integrated intel card, but at that price, its worth checking out.

    Have you thought about customizing your own specs so that you can control what and what you don't need? Also you can manage the price. You start with a stock dv5000 model instead of pre-built version of it.

    I have looked online, even at Dell. Just comparing my options, and getting some specs on a few laptops here and there.

    It says in the specs that it comes with a 6-Cell Lithium-Ion battery. how long would the laptop be expected to run on that?

    if given the same amount of money for this or a Dell E1505 that is customized, which is the better deal?
