    :confused:

    I received my new HP dv6000z and I really like this box, my only problem is that the palm rest seem to get warm (I can live with that), but the TouchPad seems to get very warm. I only have a couple weeks to decide if I want to return the unit or keep it.

    Any other dv6000 owners out there that can help. How is your TouchPad? Should I get a replacement dv6000z or look at the dv2000z or v6000?

    Thanks for your help in advance.

    touchpad works fine with me (not too warm) but a little sticky sometimes...

    I went to CircuitCity tonight to check out the v6000 and v3000 machines.

    They had a dv3000z machine that seemed to be hot around palm rest and touchpad.

    They did not have a v6000, but they did have a v3000 and it seemed to be cool as ice. Now I'm trying to decide if I should try the v6000 or go with the v3000?

    The HD is under the palmrest. Some HD brands run hotter than others. HP uses some of everything so there's no way to know in advance which brand you'll get.
