    Having been searching these forums the past few weeks reading up on HP's new laptops, I have come upon a few people stating they "like the HP 9500t laptop" and so they got the "Dv9585en." I'm not really sure what they mean by this.

    I have received one response from another fourm member that it means:

    ^Dv9585en is a pre-configured model. But that notebook is still within the 9500t series.

    Will someone please explain to me exactly what these "other models" are and where they can be bought (they are not listed on HP's site to order)?

    Thanks.

    They vary from store to store, the dv9500 is the series, but the other two numbers differentiate the specific model, most have different amounts of RAM, HD, processor speed, and price to reflect that.

    Did you try www.hpshopping.com ?

    Its like Coriolis says, the DV9500t is the model. When you see people with simply DV9500t it means that they configured the model from HP online. When you see people with DV95xxxx it means that they were prebuilt models. You will see these at places like BestBuy or CompUSA, mostly all at the resellers. You can only get the DV9500t models at HP.com when you configure one and order it through them.
