Hp DV6 dual core,have it for over four years now and the battery is still running strong,I use it daily on the charger but if i unplug it i still get around 4 hours worth of browsing with screen brightness set to half.Full screen brightness and i still get 3,5 hours of browsing on wifi.
Fujitsu siemens just cant compare quality wise either Ive dropped this laptop from table height onto tiles twice and nothing cracked or came loose!
My brothers fujitsu has absolutely no battery life a power cord is essential or it switches of immediately.

You want dual core or i5/i7?What are you going to be doing with it?Reason I'm asking is because the dv range from HP is multimedia orientated and comes with proper dedicated graphics and remote controls and media centre etc....if you just gonna do office stuff then its overkill IMO.For home use I LOVE IT!lol my buddy is nagging me to sell it to him but I'm two minded as im just so happy with it,i have lots of respect for Hp after using this.Sorry if I sound like an advertorial but thats my honest opinion after owning/using four laptops including a lenovo/fujitsu/acer/hp.
Some dude wanted a desktop to use as a server so i swopped with him and paid him a couple grand difference so I have no idea how much he paid for the dv6,but I know incredible stock HP including dv6/dv7(dv7 is the 17inch).
I had a acer 17inch 7730 or something like that before this and it costed at the time around R16000 and I can tell you this dv6 impressed me alot more than the acer which is also a pretty well made compare to stuff like fujitsu.
Anyone else know where he can pick up a dv6/7 cheaper than incredible?
If you not gaming remember to put your laptop on power saver mode when not plugged in but then again if you game without power cable I only manage to get around half hour so its not really worth it.

Not even... I really need a new laptop but I'm out of work, so I shouldn't even be thinking of spending money at this point. My budget is really low at best.

Is she hot? Include her in the deal. Not only will you sell the iPad quicker but you'll cut your losses going forward....
