    After much back and forth between the DV4T Special Edition and the DV6 i finally slapped myself so hard I decided to go with the DV6. Though after much internal debate i decided that because a firewire card costs around 50 bucks that I could subtract 50 bucks from the 150 that the Radeon 4530 would cost me and justify the upgrade to get the built in firewire that comes with the DV6 when you have discrete graphics.

    Build Config as Current Price = 828.99:
    - Does anyone have a DV6 with the Radeon, (scratch firewire question)

    - Is the extended battery worth the 29 considering the increased power draw from the graphics card? Anyone have it does it buldge at all?

    - (Scratch tv tuner ? looks like i mind as well just use my old usb tuner)

    I think thats about it add any if u want and thanks ya'll.

    Edit - I found ya'lls review on a slightly older dv6 (before it went pure radeon) looks like the blank is a 4 pin which was to be expected.
