    So...there's a good coupon...and I have some questions

    1) What should a dv6t owner know about the envy 17 that's not readily apparent?

    2) How does the 6850m compare to the 6770m? It's underclocked to 575 right? Can I overclock it to normal clock speeds without much risk?

    3) The build quality is a lot better, right? Is it still plastic?

    4) The 120 hz screen. How does it compare to the AUO 1920 x 1080 matte screen on the dv6t? Nice colors? What gamut? Brightness?

    5) How's the weight/size?

    gonna miss the fingerprint reader :-/

    Thanks a lot :D

    Wow, I would love these questions to be answered (#1, #2 and #3). BTW, the Envy doesn't have any fingerprint reader? :O
