I want 1TB HDD as compared to 750 GB . So will have to choose 5400 RPM . Will 5400 RPM be too slow as compared to 7200 RPM in daily operations .?
Won't transfer data much on the HDD . But more HDD space is my priority ....

Plz advice ...

It depends on what you are going to run on your machine. By simply booting and running software, you transfer data to and from the CPU. 5400 will be slower than the 7200 drive. It depends on what you are doing to know whether it is significant or not. If space is your priority over speed, go for it. But if you are using more than 750GB of storage, I suspect you are transferring a lot of data.

hp and overheating issues is so 2007-2009, much has happened since then, hp:s cooling system hasnt been any worse than the other laptop brands for quite some time now, I doubt these new models will have the same cooling system that hp used 2-5 years ago

Is it a good time to buy HP dv6t now with Win 7 or should I wait until Win 8 come out regarding both hardware and software compatibility? I know the price might go down but it is not my issues.

the gt650m is 25-35% better than the 6770m/7690m

I'm about to return my current dv6t with 7690M XT and buy the new one. I'm deciding on either 1gb or 2gb GT 650M. I don't do video editing at all and I just do some moderate gaming on latest games like BF3. Based on what I've read online, I understood 7690m xt won't make much of a difference with 1gb or 2gb. Is it similar on the GT 650M? Please share with me your thoughts

I'll either pick the 2gb 650M option or the 32GB mSSD Hard Drive Acceleration Cache, in order to come up with a total of $1399 to use the $400 off coupon.
