i just purchase the dv6500t SE for $1123 good choice?

first i wanted something that stand out from the others. second, has anyone seen this version (white color) in person. i'm still not sure if i'll like it or not. The review says "is the most beautiful PC laptop around", i got it using coupon and discounts for $1123 . this r my spec

please can anyone tell me if it does look good in person, cause i like the black version but the discount was on this version so i went for it.

 

I personally think the black looks better than the white.

 

have u seen it in person. does it look diamond white (kind of apples white) or does it look yellowish white.

 

don't really think the $100 premium over the regular black one is worth it. it looks nice, but not $100 more nice.

 

looks like a good price same specs as mine except i also got the 12 cell battery, and i am very happy with mine - all the bloatware.

 

Can I ask where you bought it from?

I'm pricing the same dv6500t (not SE, black) at the HP site.
I have most of the same options, except these:

T7100 (1.80 GHz, 2MB cache)
no NVIDIA
yes Norton antivirus

and my price with tax is $1853.24!

How did you do it for $1123?

 

(offtopic) Why are you buying Norton anti virus? It's the worst program ever.

 

How did you get it at that price? What coupons and discounts did you use?

 

Oh, and I like white version better than the black one. They have them in Best Buy and Circuit City stores if you want to go take a look at one. I personally think they are really nice systems. It is what I am going to buy if I have problems with my Dell order (see signature below). I would say it is close to a Mac's white but it has lines on it, their imprint design, which makes it different. Of course, I have no experience with Macbooks whatsoever so I wouldn't be the best judge of that.

i use the $350 coupon discount plus employed discount from my uncle that works with them. another question. i had the choice to upgrade to 200gb 4200rpm from a 160gb 5400rpm, i didn't choose it cause i didn't want to have a super slow harddrive (4200) did i also made the right choice?

 

I've seen it a few times. Once at a Best Buy store and a friend of mine picked one up. The white is pretty trendy. It reminds me a lot of the Mac but it will stand out a bit as people will notice that it's white and not a Mac.

It's a good price for what you got. My friend absolutely loves the white. I personally prefer a darker color but that's just personal preference.

 

I have seen the white version, it looks nice. I personally like the black, but the white isn't bad looking at all. I think you made the right Hard drive choice.

 

Yeah.
I am new at this.
I've now seen all of the trouble it causes.
I'm smarter now.

But how did eduard score that low price??

 

use this coupon at checkout NB9495 and it will knock off $300 off from the price, and i don't know what else can u use, maybe student discount. also about norton never use it. u have to many antivirus option which u probably haven't heard. (NOD32 - my favorite, kaspersky, zonealam, AVG antivirus - free but really good, etc)

anyway i have a copy of vista 32bit ultimate, which i will do a fresh installation without the bloware it comes with.

 

If you don't want the slow hard drive then you made the right choice. I would have sacrificed the speed for the extra space but that's just me. It only a 40 GB difference though. Usually your first instincts are correct. I think you purchased a great system. Let us know about it when you receive it!

uh... there is no option to type in the coupon code..

 

Yes there is.

It's one of the last steps before paying.

 

im at the shipping address part already...
either im blind or its after that?

 

Its on the page where you plug in your credit card info.

 

just buy it man you want be in the Leetop club dont ya??

 

I just tried the coupon code and it seems like it doesn't work if you have the APP on. Without the APP and just the regular store, it works great.
