    I'm about to buy a dv9500t that has the following specs:
    • Core 2 Duo T7500
    • 2GB RAM
    • 240GB (5,400RPM) SATA dual hard drives (120GB x 2)
    • Geforce 8600M GS 256MB
    • 17.0" WSXGA+ BrightView widescreen display; 1680 x 1050 native resolution
    I'd like to know whether it has an HDMI port, especially since it has an 8600M GS. Does this mean that it will most likely have HDMI output?

    I looked at similar models that have either the same video card or an 8400M GS and they have HDMI.

    Thanks.

    if it has an HDMI port, then it has HDMI output

    But, no the specs don't say anything about one

    Fine print says on the 9500 series that if it has the Dedicated video (i.e. 8400 or 8600) then it has the HDMI. 30% coupon is working again so I am ordering one tonight. My question is does it come with the remote if you don't order it with the tv tuner?

    I just ordered one with killer configuration and bragged/blogged about it :)

    I bought it with tuner, but without, it doesn't include remote (it says so in "none" option). There is an optional remote in the accessories section.

    Without the TV tuner, it comes with an express card remote, not the full one.

    You can pick up the tuner package cheaper on eBay. I just ordered the express card remote for mine. Its 19.99 in the Options section
