WHITE & SILVER dv6000?!?!?!

Hey guys, I'm sitting in my college's computer lab right now and some guy just sat across from in with a White (dv6000) with a silver keyboard... is this some new model?!?! I really like the keyboard, does HP make them for my dv2000t?

 

It's a special edition. I noticed it at Best Buy one day. It has the turion processor and it was $1099 i think.

Yep, its best buy only special edition model. Only dv6000z is currently offered with the white/silver scheme.

 

i like the silver scheme, wish there were bigger pics though.

 

Thanks for the quick responses! Can I order the special edition's keyboard for my dv2000?

 

damn too bad its not available as a dv6000 intel version..

 

Hmm...might not work. Even though the keyboard might look the same on the outside the keyboard connectors might not match. Its risk but search through the service manuals(or HP Parts site) for both the dv2000 and the dv6000. If the part numbers are the same then most likely it will work.

 

You can see a better pic of a silver and white here http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8237918&st=6233se&type=product&id=1168043627581

This is the dv6233se that bestbuy had on sale for $599 out the door on
Presidents Day.

 

isn't that the same finish as the compaqs?

 

No. The HP Special Editions have all white LCD covers, surrounding frames for the touchpads, and an all silver glossy coating for the keys. The downside to this MacBook-esque look is that while fingerprints will show up definately a LOT less than vs the regular HPs, that silver coating may rub off eventually, leaving your keyboard look pretty icky =[...

As a Best Buy employee I have seen about 4 of these white Special Editions. HP origionally started the special editions back in the days of the DV1000s. They came with dual headphone jacks, a special color finish on the back, which i believe was more of a dark red versus the typical black/silver. However, they were not really special editions, as I believe we got a TON of them when we were first carrying them. Then they moved to the new DV2/6/9 series... and then changed the whole color scheme to white/silver. Yes, they all use AMD processors, which I personally wish were Core 2 Duos, BUT one nice thing about these Special Editions as well is that they come with the 12 cell battery. Granted, HP's extended battery isn't that great as it raises the back by about an inch unlike some other companies who's extended batteries just stretch out the back, but you still do get what basically is 2x 6 cell batteries , and they come at a pretty good price and are pretty well equipped. The one that Best Buy carries now I believe we have on sale for $1099, as someone quoted above.

 

Oooooooh, those are nice, I like.

Damn, I wish the white/silver was available for the Intel's

 

Hello, new to forum, been reading and learning. Thanks.

I have this white one(dv6233se), purchased a few weeks ago on a BB early bird special during their vista promotion. If you have questions about this SE, I'll do my best to answer them.

After reading the many bloatware threads, some of the stuff I have is differen't and was wondering if anyone could help me with that. In one thread someone listed what they had preloading and installed. Another member suggested what could be safely disabled and/or uninstalled.

I don't want to wipe the drive and start fresh, after norton was removed, some apps disabled via the info from this site, and a few cosmetic tweaks, it runs much more to my liking. If I can free up a little more, that would be nice. I am only listing apps that weren't "shipped with the OS"(according to the startup/software explorer).

The yahoo search toolbar came loaded in the taskbar, but there was an HP software section to remove it, if I can uninstall it completely, without conflicts, I'd like to.

Thanks in advance.
