    Thanks for the info Kevin.

    I suspect we'll be seeing many of these in middle schools.

    :laugh:


    HP's web site hasn't been refreshed yet, nevertheless it's good to see prices getting a tad bit more reasonable (at least where the dv2z is concerned). :)

    Well the current dv6z has an optional LED screen but I strangely don't see the same option for the dv6t; while LED screens are the only type of displays available on the dv2z and dv3t.

    If you ask me the design on that dv6z Artist Edition 2 is a bit too loud for me. I like it simple one solid color on the lid.
