    What exactly would you like to hear about it? Specs look great. 1080p screen, highest graphics on the dv6, great processor, Bluray and 8gb RAM.

    I've been tempted by this dv6 and I think Im going to get it. Had my XPS M1210 for 4.5yrs now and its time for a change. Ones I've compared so far:

    Sony Vaio SE 15.5" 1080p Win7Pro
    i7 2640m dual-core, 8GB RAM, 750GB(5400rpm), AMD Radeon HD 6630M 1GB, Blu-Ray/DVD, USB 3.0x2, USB 2.0x1, 6.85lbs - $1450

    Sony Vaio F 16.4" 1080p Win7Pro
    i7 2630qm quad-core, 8GB RAM, 750GB(5400rpm), NVIDIA GT520M 1GB, Blu-Ray/DVD, USB 3.0x2, USB 2.0x1, 4.4lbs -$1500

    Dell XPS 15z 15.6" 1080p Win7Home
    i7 2620m dual-core, 8GB RAM, 750GB(7200rpm), NVIDIA GT525M 2GB, DVD, USB 3.0x2, USB 2.0x1, eSATAx1, Mini DisplayPortx1 - $1400

    Samsung Series 7 15.6" 1600x900 Matte Win7Home
    i7 2675qm quad-core, 8GB RAM, 750GB(7200rpm) w/ Express Cache, AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1GB, USB 3.0x1, USB 2.0x2, 5.05lbs - $1300

    HP Pavillion DV6-6195CA 15.6" 1080P Anti-Glare Win7Pro
    i7 2630qm quad-core, 8GB RAM, 750GB(7200rpm), AMD Radeon HD 6770M 2GB, USB 3.0x2, USB 2.0x2, 5.78lbs - $1200

    all have VGA, HDMI. I really don't need eSATA as long as there's USB 3.0 port. No need for DisplayPort either unless I use 2 monitors.
