    Hey guys, I ordered a dv7t over 2 weeks ago, although canceled it since they added an integrated hdtv tuner. Just waiting for refund.

    I starting to look closer at the pictures and noticed that the keyboards are very different.

    The dv5t seems to have a standard looking keyboard. The dv7t has a full sized keyboard, which seems very new for hp to perfect (i guess). The keys seem a bit small and bunched together. the strangest part are the arrow keys, which look very small.
    Anyone have any ideas on the feel of the dv7t keyboard... Its been two weeks maybe someone has received their dv7t. Thanks for any response.

    this must be the number one thing that may deter me away from the dv7t

    I ordered my dv7t a few days before the tv tuner was available...

    I didn't consider sending it back just for that...

    Do you think they'd put one in if I sent it in and payed them $150 (for the unit + installation?)

    I'm pretty sure that it has the same keyboard as the HP dv9700t but it's just in a different color. I've looked at the keyboard on the HP dv9700t in person and it's a pretty nice/good keybord
