    I am gonna purchase the HP dv2500t on www.hp.com while the 20% is there,
    but I have few question about it:

    1. Does it comes with the IR remote as it does for dv6500t? or dv6500tSE?
    2. In one post, a guy says that the 8400M GS in 2500 is different from 6500, he saide the 2500 one only has 64Mb dedicated ram, while the 6500 has 128. can anyone comfirm this for me? :(
    3.2500 and 6500 comes out the same price with similar specs for me, do you guys suggest one over the other? (I was considering 6500tSE, but it comes out about $100 more with the white headphone and mouse, and it's white!)

    Thanks guys! ;)

    1. Yes
    2. Yes, but performance difference is near nonexistent.
    3. Do you want a bigger one, or one easier to carry around?

    I just went on the hp site again,
    For 2500, 319MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS
    For 6500, 383MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS
    I guess there is a difference...

    The difference between 64 & 128 Mb of dedicated memory in the low-mid class 8400m is minimal. Clock speeds matter much more than the memory for this card.

    Lithus, so do you mean the clock speed of this 8400m GS is the same?
    I something play some sports game to kill time, is this low-mid 8400 good enough for that?
    Thanks
