    Why am I finding that the DV6 in my sig, without the hybrid HD, which I bought on Ebay before Christimas of last year is now almost $100 more in the same refurb/used condition? I thought that puters and electronics get cheaper as newer and better units are brought to market?
    What is going on with HP laptops..... are they appreciating in value with time? jk, I think?

    I'm in the market for an DV6 as well. Waiting until Memorial day for sales, or is there no reason to wait?
    Current (on the way as of 5/15/12) HP DV6-6145dx. AMD A8, 8GB RAM, 640GB 5200RPM.

    Old news Inspiron 1520 Sold! Replacing with HP DM3-1047NR.
    Intel SU4100 1.3GHz, 4GB RAM, 320GB 7200RPM HDD.
    Waiting for those SSD prices to go down already!

    all the laptops being re-sold are /working/ HP computers. Its a rare thing, so they have to be sold for more.

    Thanks but I would hope they are working when resold.... as are most all PCs.....?

    I guess you are being sarcastic.... and that IS funny.
