    Ugh the Voodoo's are HIDEOUS

    I sort of like Radiance but wouldn't it be nicer if the design was a bit more symmetrical?

    The heat is about the same, most of the warmth is from the HD, not from the CPU under normal use.

    How much heavier is the high capacity 6 cell battery than the normal 6 cell, if any?

    dgcoupe,

    The screen on my DV2500t is made by Quanta, I had a Chei MEi on my DV2000t, the Quanta Screen is much brighter and has great color saturation, whites are bright white and blacks are deep black not gray; probably the best LCD screen I have had on a laptop (and I have owned no less the 20 laptops)

    That seems odd.

    On the DV2000T, it's at least 1m 4s (2.0GHz 7200 chip, DDR2-677 RAM)

    The DV25000T should be faster...unless Vista is slower.

    Yes I did, it is in the smaller brown box with the battery, there is another little black and white box with literature and special offers.
