    Agreed. The DV6000 must now leave his boyhood behind, and become a man, a DV5.

    It has heat problems. HP has never designed a 15.4 or even 17.0 " laptop with a graphic card higher than the 8400gs its prossibly going to have that issue

    Ahem? nc8430, nw9440, 8510p/w, 8710p/w...

    Anyway, no consumer laptop has ever been designed with a high performance part.

    Why is this almost a pound heavier than the Macbook Pro?

    I don't know about the silver keys - there's too much silver. They should have kept the keys black.

    Reading the first thread in this sub-forum should answer your question.

    Comparative to the price, i think those 3dmark06 scores are mediocre at best; I hit 4k+ with a T7700 and a 8600mGT (gddr3) that downclocks before the test even ends.
