Hi !!!

I wanna buy the HP DV6500 laptop. But i have found some changes like

1. In dv6200 and dv6300 they have 1.3 Mega Pixel Web cam and in dv6500 there is a VGA Camera.

2. In dv6200 and dv6300 they have 1.66 ghZ Core 2 Duro and in dv6500 there is 1.5 GHz.

Please suggest me is it better than dv6200 and dv6300 Or should i go for dv 62000/6300 series.

Thanks!

Hi Nice Blog .Some parts, such as hard drives and memory are commodity items and are interchangeable. However, other parts such as motherboards, keyboards, and batteries are proprietary in design and are only interchangeable within a manufacters brand and/or model line in hp laptop battery.
