Difference between HP nc and dv series

[bewildered]

What is the difference between HP nc and dv series ? The HPShopping websites show only the dv series.

I am pariticularly interested in HP V3000t/dv2000t. Any comments on the weight, battery life, mobile application performance ? How does it compare with Thinkpad T60 or Sony Vaio SZ series ?

Hp's v and dv series are consumer notebooks, which means they have a lot of features but sacrifice build quality. The NC series is part of HP's business line, which offers superior quality and not so superior design IMO.
Both Thinkpads and Vaios would be more expensive and better built than any HP notebook. If you compare the availability of features - HP, Sony and IBM each have strenghts and weaknesses. If you compare quality and durability, HP consumer notebooks lag behind.
For more detailed information you need to specify a model because there are lots of them with different weights, batteries, screens, etc.
