Other shared hardware includes a 1GB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 6570, up to 8GB of RAM, a DVD or Blu-ray drive, four USB ports (one eSATA combo), VGA and HDMI outputs, Gigabit Ethernet, a 5-in-1 card reader, and Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional or Ultimate. Despite their similarities, the systems do have a few distinguishing specs.
The 15.6-inch dv6t is aimed at business users with a starting price of $1,000. It offers up to six hours of runtime with a six-cell battery or 10 hours with a hefty nine-cell battery, an optional backlit keyboard and touchscreen with HP's touch-optimized apps, up to 1TB of mechanical or 160GB of flash storage, and comes standard with a one-year warranty.
Meanwhile, the larger 17.3-inch dv7t kicks off at $1,100 and fares worse on battery life, peaking at five hours with a nine-cell unit. However, it gains a higher resolution display (1600x900 versus 1366x768), HP's Beats audio engine with a subwoofer, more storage options such as dual 1TB disks or an SSD boot drive, as well as a two-year warranty.

Got something to say? Post a comment-
I wonder how soon Lenovo is going to offer these cpus. This is where AMD is missing out though their Fusion E-350 appears to be doing well.

You mean RELAUNCHED their sandybridge notebooks.
HP launched them, and I advised my sister to get one (which she did through Bestbuy), then they silently pulled them due to the chipset issue. She never received any recall notice or anything - but her laptop had some major issues so she took it back to Bestbuy which did take the return, but didn't tell her about any recall either.
Looking around i found some notice that HP was taking replacements, but no reference on HPs site at all. I guess they are trying to distance themselves from this issue as much as possible. I would have liked a lot more transparency on all sides (Intel, HP, BestBuy)

Very true. Transparency and Best Buy is like oil and water.
