Any thoughts will seriously help me, I want to order it tomorrow before the coupon expires.

 

IMO get the Intel version much cheaper and much more performance.

 

The AMD version is cheaper

 

NO it is not! Check the website!

 

Intel w/ T7250 comes to $1182. AMD w/ TL-62 comes to $1242.

Skip the recovery discs, you can burn them yourself.

 

i just cofigured them both and got this

AMD
$1,367.05

INTEL
$1,418.99

 

I confg both evenly and I got $1000 for amd and $900 for Intel. Also I have advice one there is a 30% of Hp coupon for anything above $999, and you cannot use 64 bit vista fully unless you are upgrading to 4 GB of ram.

 

Well, the prices I quoted are configured exactly as in your opening post minus the restore discs. I don't know where you guys are getting your prices from.

 

I get mine straight off of Hp but missing a few things but both notebooks that I confg are the same between each other.

 

64-bit OS is really only necessary if you plan to get 4gb of memory. And I'd vote for AMD (Even though I have Intel in my dv6519tx).

Grand Admiral

 

The T7250 is going to be faster than the TL-62.

 

Ok i think i am going with

Vista Home Premium
C2D t7250 2GHZ
2gb
128MB 8400GS
Radiance, Finger, Cam
802.11AGN and BT
120GB
8X DVD+/-RW w. DL
TV TUNER
12 cell

with a quick connect dock, 2 year ad and warranty, after coupon it comes to $1,496.97

 

More like the GPU is better at graphics and the CPU is better at encoding - whatever that may be.

 

the intel comes with a nvidia card.... so?

 

Dose not matter what the integrated gpu comes with he is getting the dedicated Nvidia anyway!

 

Bottom Line: The dv6000t is going to be the better computer at the better price. End of Discussion. Don't know why it took 17 comments to arrive here.

 

Thank you all for you help, I appreciate it

 

Your welcome! Don't forget there is a 30% off coupon check this forums deals page!

 

The AMD is cheaper and what i've heard is faster but louder and more hot

 

also that price seems high. I got a 2.1ghz AMD with everything that you got minus the TV tuner and mine came down to $733 with the 30% coupon, so you might want to wait a little to get that price lowered.
