    I have a dell vostro 1500, its not quite what im looking for! I really like the look of the hp dv6500t, but i have a few question:

    1) Is it possible to get a higher res than 1280x800?
    2) Whats the battery like on it?
    3) how good is the 8400gs, and why isn't there a 8600m gt option with the hp's?
    4) How heavy are they?
    5) Are there still $300 off coupons?

    1280*800 is the highest res available on the dv6500t.

    The 30% coupon expired on Friday, but there will be another one soon i bet.
