    Should I buy a dv2500t or dv6500t?

    So I have narrowed down my laptop choices to these two and was wondering about the difference in portability and wanted everyones opinion. I will be doing some occasional traveling with the laptop. Is it that much more of a difference in weight and size to lug around the 6500t versus the 2500t? Or should I sacrifice the screen size and go with the 2500t for portability?

    Thanks for your help!

    Why are you asking us? If you want a more portable computer go with the 2500, if you want a bigger screen go with the 6500.

    Because this is a forum. Some of your terse responses are funny, but I think you need to calm down.

    I like the size of the dv2500t. You're not really missing anything while having a more portable machine.

    Go for the dv2500t, only about 1" smaller screen, but about 1 pound lighter

    I was just answering another dv6500 owner's question on why their laptop had dv6000 in the top left before posting that. I just wish people would at least attempt to use the search button. :)

    Thanks for the feedback so far. I did do a search on this but did not find much. I just wanted to get some more opinions of other users before I bit the bullet.

    Well, if you're choosing between the 15" @ 1280x800 resolution Vs. the 14" @ 1280x800 I would go with the 14".
