Possible New Notebook: HP dv9000t

Update: Just got it! So to read that review click this link Read my review.

Jen and I are looking to get a notebook computer. We really enjoy our media center desktops and want to be able use the notebook for tv, movies, games and work. We don't travel a lot, so bigger is ok with us. We just want the flexibility of a notebook.

Right now I am seriously looking at the HP Pavilion dv9000t. They have models at bestbuy and circuit city to check out. They are beautiful. The specs are also pretty snappy. They kick my desktop's butt, and I am really happy with the desktop.

You can pick one up with a nice config of options for about $1500 (after rebate). Note that you need to get the TV tuner as an ad-on. It isn't standard, though HDMI out is (which you can make into DVI out). It can play movies/audio without booting to windows which is also handy.

There are two screen types to choose from really: 1680x1050 resolution BrightView Widscreen vs 1440x900 Ultra BrightView Widescreen.

From what I have read the ultra brightview is significantly more dramatic and impressive. Aparently a second lamp helps with brightness and to combat ambient light. It makes the screen colors improved to a point where people say it is worth the $75.

There is also the new Dell 20" monster of a notebook. It comes in at 18 lbs! Though it really looks sweet I can't see paying about twice as much for the larger screen.

So, if anyone has feedback on the HP please send it my way. I may try to drag jen to Circuit City or Best Buy so she can see it first hand.
