    i.e. If two systems are spec'd identically (right now both have same options - I know this may change when they add GPU options)

    Thinking of ging for a 14" as I find my 6000 too heavy

    I think the 6500 will have more options on their dedicated GPUs than the 2500. But then again, it's all speculation.

    Also keep in mind that the dv6XXX units may disperse heat a bit better (as they are bigger). The thermal modules may also differ between them.

    It looks like it is only the screen size

    dv6500t will probably also have an HDMI out port with the dedicated graphics option.
