    Hi. I was just wondering who has bought the HP dv2500 and his/her general opinion of the laptop. Does it work as good as it looks? How's the battery life for a 6 cell or a 12 cell battery? What is your build of the laptop (did you customize yours)? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

    One reason for asking is because I would like to compare the battery life. I was wondering if choosing the 319MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS video card option would reduce the battery life even more so than the Intel Media Accelerator X3100. My current laptop is a Pavilion dv1240 and can run for about 5-6 hours using a 12 cell battery, and I'm hoping that the dv2500 can reach the same.

    Thanks! :)
