    I am using dv9700t, but I am thinking about replacing it with Dv7t. I would greatly appreciate if anybody could help me find 3 answers:

    1. One thing I don't like dv9700t is its card reader. It's very very very slow, and when use a lot CPU. Does dv7t use a better card reader?

    2. Sometime, I use laptop outdoor, and I am using dv9700's ultra-brightview, is there anybody could compare dv7t's screen (1680 x 1050) with dv9700t's ultra-bright view?

    3. For 100% screen brightness, what's the battery life?

    Thanks a lot.

    Well those media cards aren't fast to begin with.

    Secondly, if you read my review you would know that the DV7's screen is a notch brighter than the DV9700's screen.

    Thirdly, I would assume about an 1-2 hours minimum.

    All in all, I was impressed with the DV7.
