Hello everyone, I'll try to make this brief. I'm about to buy a dv6t-7000 but am split between decisions. I have a couple questions:
1) I am looking to play games but will only play on low settings. I also want to be able to do so for at least 4 years. I know this requires some speculation but I want to know if anyone thinks an i5 core will be enough? I don't do MATlab or modeling programs so I was told I wouldn't need an i7, let alone a quad core. Also was told that the GPU would cap out before the processor after 4 years.
2) Not sure of the difference between the regular dv6t-7000 and the select version, could someone clarify? Pretty sure my configurations are the same but there's a $50 price difference. (PS: I know I selected the 1366x768 but I will change it later).
Regular: http/www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/load_configuration.do?destination=review&config_id=7353653
Select: http/www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/load_configuration.do?destination=review&config_id=7353671
EDIT: Nvm, I found out the main difference besides the HDD is I only get 6GB memory included in the regular rather than 8GB. Based on what I'm looking for in the previous statement, would I even need the extra 2GB?
3) Minor question, but do both have the fingerprint scanner?
Thanks for reading!
