    Ive been trying to pick a laptop for some time now and at first i wanted a dell but then switched to hp because of the superior performance qualities. Now that Im in hp there are many choices but they all have their advantages and disadvantages. Im going to be doing light to moderate gaming on my laptop but i do want it to be fast while im running multiple programs. I will also be doing graphic work such as 3ds max and autocad so i just want a multitask laptop.

    Is there a noticeable difference between the 2.5 ghz and 2.4? i like the 6mb cache of the 2.5 but its a lot more.
    I like the dv5t because of the graphics and performance but it only has a 6 cell battery and i heard it gets really hot. Is the heat thing true and how hot does it actually get?
    Then i looked at the dv6700tse and i liked the performance and 12 cell battery but it only has a nvidia 8600 when the dv5t has a 9200. Will i still be able to game well on the 8600? Also will the moderate resolution size of 1280x800 be good enough for a small 15" laptop?
    Then i went to the dv9700t. I liked the bigger size screen and it still has a moderate graphics at 8400?

    I would just like to know what you all think of these laptops because you have seen more of them. I would love to hear what you think about them and any other suggestions.

    Thank you
