    can someone list difference between the two?

    -better graphics card on the 6k.
    -5k has H/K speakers. 6k doesn't.
    -6k can go up to A64 4000+.

    soo..ummm is that it?!

    That's essentially it (as listed in the original post).

    Except that in some models of the zv5000 series, they are equipped w/Mobile chips, allowing them to truly operate quietly (with no fan noise, unless CPU temp. reaches a certain level).

    The ZV6000 also has an infra red port along with the express card slot.

    With ZV5000 you could get higher res screens...

    Only the Athlon XP-M's allow the fan to turn off in the zv5000z. The Athlon 64's HP used are all DTR-class chips that run the fan continuously. You can swap in Mobile-class A64's like I did though. I suspect that when HP switches over to 90nm A64's and Semprons the zv6000 fan behavior will be identical to the Athlon XP-M's in the zv5000z.

    You could get higher-res screens for the zv5000z too.

    Do the zv5000 series models have Expresscard slots?

    Another difference is that the zv6k has a 6in1 card reader, the other has 5.

    Yes, your understanding on the media reader is correct. And, is not a very large distinction, by any means.
