    I saw the dv6t in black on HP's site and I'm seriously considering it over the HDX, but why can't I find a single picture of it in black? The only one's I've seen are silver. Is it just super new?

    It's not super new at all. The black one is sort of coffee bean black/brown. I personally do not like the design on the front cover at all. It would of been best if HP just left it a sold color with no design.
    Personally, the new HDX series are their best design they've laser etched onto their notebooks!
    And the notebook is note black or blue, its sort of a PEARL color. I also see pearl purple as well! It's a neat color!

    You can find sample pics of color/design if you look in the dv7t thread. =)

    I know it is not the dv6t but you can take a look at its brother the dv6z review as it has the same chassis and color scheme as the dv6t.

    The dv6 t uses Intel processors with AMD(ATI) graphics while the dv6 z uses AMD processors with AMD(ATI) graphics. That is the difference :).

    Thanks. Does the dv6 come with a remote like the HDX? I'm trying to decide between the two. And I'm an awful decision maker.

    Make sure you go with the Dv6t. The temperature is EXTREMELY cooler than the Dv6z, due to the difference between Intel vs. AMD processors.

    Also, the video card selection is better for the dv6t. I got the 1gb ati mobility radeon HD 4650 and couldnt be happier - it has made my tingle.

    Good luck

    Oh I would never go with an AMD over an Intel. If I get the dv6t I'll only really be able to afford the HD 4530. Will that still perform well?

    It will perform really well!

    As long as you arent intending on playing the most cutting edge games on the highest settings, you should be fine

    Thanks. And if I go with the HDX 16, what about the GeForce GT 130M?
