    Why is it still written "dv6000" on the top right of the lid on the new dv6500 series notebooks?

    Beyond the sticker indicating that there's an AMD processor in the notebook there is no outward differentiation between my dv6000z and the dv6000t for Intel. It's all the same model and case, just the innards that are slightly different.

    Because its still essentially a dv6000 series notebook. In the past they would have called the dv6500 as a dv6000 and the dv6500 would be the internal model number but since they are still selling the older models along side the updated one they probably decided to release it as the dv6500 series and didnt want to spend on a new sticker.
