    dv2035us (dv2000t retail variant).

    I choose it because HP has giving me great service in the past, and the style of the new HP notebooks are really trend setting.

    Plus, the power of Core Duo was another reason.

    dv6126tx.

    I choose this b'coz I seldom move around with my laptop. If u move often, then choose dv2000t/z.

    dv2000t -- best balance of portability and power -- I have no use for a bigger screen, and I hate trying to use one's any smaller.

    i have both i like the portability of the 2000 but i like the screen size of the 6000. plus my 6000 got higher specs than the 2000 so i like the 6000 more. i personally like a bigger screen so i like the 6000 but 2000 is nice to for some. my sister seems to like the 2000 alot. so if size is the determining factor go to bestbuy and look at both yourself and see if the 6000 is too big for you. it wasn't for me. but it was a tad slow so i exchanged it for a faster one.

    Really love my dv2000t! Love the compact size.

    I travel about every month or two, and it is very lightweight b ut powerful.

    I also find the screen to be excellent. Perhaps being it's a wide screen makes the 14" more livable, but I don't have any issues with the screen size.

    Really dependable, fun laptop! You'll love yours!

    I don't understand why everybody hates SEC screens, I mean I have one, and am very pleased with it. There is some light leakeage, thats true, but it is only noticeable when the screen is completely black, and I don't have any dead pixels as well.

    I chose the dv2000t series (actual model I own is a dv2174cl) because of its smaller size, lighter weight and abundance of features. Plus, I love the overall style and finish of the notebook and especially the price I paid for it ($838 at Sam's Club!!). After seeing how much I could have paid for this same exact notebook though the CTO (configure to order) from the HP site, this was a far better value, as it was about $150-$200 less than through the site. Had mine for 2 days now and just loving it, no problems at all!

    2000t for me, i'm a college student, and its best if you do a lot of moving around, light and one inch more of screen space isn't that much for me plus its heavier and bulky, the wide screen on the 14.1 is impressive enough for me. i work with autocad and a lot of 3d modeling program and i was going to purchase the 6000t because it does offer a better graphics card but so far my 2000t is doing all the work just fine.

    DV2000T, the 14" WXGA is excellent. The balance between config and performance is great.

    Got a dv2040tx because it's proof you don't have to spend loads of quids on a Mac just because they look good. I got my dv2040tx and 1 month later my wife was pregnant!

    dv6000t

    I went the rounds buying other laptops and a desktop and was sorely dissatisfied (gateway, dell, and apple all were disapointments). I have an antique HP desktop that is still in use, daily, by my wife (7 year old machine) and it has given me no trouble (I did upgrade my RAM, added another HDD, and removed Windows ME and installed XP Professional). I also had a 4 year old HP desktop I sold when I bought a Dell desktop (it is a piece of junk, the Dell I mean) 6-7 months ago. I have also owned 3 HP printers, and 2 HP cameras with no complaints from any of them.

    I wanted a high powered intel duo core so I could run some heavy applications while being mobile. I wanted a 15.4 monitor, and decent graphics (not a gamer, but I like films), Bluetooth, and quality. The only computers I have ever owned and been 100% satisfied with were HP, and frankly... the 6000 in the imprint finish is dead sexy.

    dv600t for me:

    Bigger, more powerful, and not massively heavy. Really great machine.

    And dv6000z for me, because of the 15,4 inch screen. Wanted to get the one with Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, but after reading all these SATA problems people are having, then i'm glad i went with AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual-Core.

    You feel sorry for those people????? Aren't we exaggerating just a wee bit here?
    Most people use their computers for just the basic things, like surfing the web, listening to music, watching movies, playing games, etc. Now, how would the AMD be any inferior to Intel in those simple tasks? Well, newer games may be more demanding, but surely the difference between Intel's Dual Cores and AMD's Dual Cores is not THAT huge that it would leave AMD owners stranded when wanting to play some games.. :confused:
    And after reading all these SATA problems when reinstalling WinXP, and the high pitched noise coming from those Intel Coro 2 Duo notebooks, then i am GLAD i have an AMD in my notebook. :)

    I helped my daughter, whose in college, purchase a dv2000t. I had her go to Best Buy and compare the dv2000 and dv6000. She preferred the smaller size because she carries it around. I prefer the Intel processor, so ended up configuring the notebook at HP. My daughter is very happy with the dv2000t.

    dv2000 because it's more portable. I've had giant notebooks before and I wanted something I could actually pick up without giving myself a hernia.

    I picked the dv5000t/6000t because it was going to be my main computer throughout college and as much as I love portable computers, I just don't feel comfortable staring at a tiny screen and typing on cramped KBs for 4 years. So I picked the 15.4 inch because it is a good balance of portability and size.

    I originally owned the 6000t, but the size was a bit much. I had battery issues so I returned it and switched to the 2000z. The smaller footprint is awesome and I love the lower power consumption but I do see a difference in the processors of the C2D and the Dual AMD.
    I have seen a performance issue dating back to the Athlons and I see one now as well. Amd just seems to be a step behind on speed and agility in their processor chipsets. This may change but I will be changing to the Intel based dv2000 series before it's said and done. No offense....I may be biased, but I can definately see a difference.

    dv6000, basically because of the better GPU, I'd prefer the 14,1inch screen, it is just perfect.

    I've got the dv6000t. I love it but I'll probably get a smaller & lighter unit next time.
