It is also interesting to see the graphics options on it are just the 1 or 2 GB Radeon 7670. Those would pair well with the AMD A10 (because the 7670 can crossfire with the on-chip 7660 leading to pretty good performance per watt, dollar, etc), but with an Intel setup I'd think you'd want the 77** to get the newer architecture, or NVIDIA for the fanboys like me. Still, I would have kept my m6 if there was a way to upgrade it to 1080p, and not 1080p on the HP site pretty much confirms my suspicions that it would take a motherboard revision to get to 1080p (maybe the m6-2xxx or future, or they save the 1080p for the dv6 and keep it as a differentiating feature.).
Yeah I wondered why no AMD options were present, but I'm guessing it's due to the naming scheme. Usually the t series laptops (dv6t, m6t) sport the Intel chips and then the z series laptops (dv6z, g6z) have AMD chips. So I'm betting in the near future we'll see something like an m6z-1000 series.

I too am bummed about the lack of upgrades for the screen and graphics card, but I'm letting it slide due to it's thinness. However, similar companies are putting things like a 640M in their thin builds which are pretty quick and power efficient. (I'm an Nvidia fan as well, we've got similar desktop builds haha)

Looks like they've already handed out a coupon as well: Best HP Pavilion m6t Ivy Bridge Laptop coupon & Deal | LogicBUY

On a side note, I couldn't find any info on this but I know that the 7670 can crossfire with the 7660g of the A10, but can the A10 also crossfire with a 7730m? I'm wondering this for the DV6z series. If not, then technically getting a 7670m on the DV6z for crossfire would be more powerful than a lone 7730m.
