I was pretty much set on the xps m1330, but after hearing about some issues with the GPU in the long run, I've been looking at the HP DV3T, but I can't find any professional reviews on it. At Notebookreview there's a lengthy discussion, but that's about it.

I'm a little hesitant to go with HP because Dell has been good to me in the past and my sister had a dv4t that crapped out all the time.

What do you guys think?

Specs wise, I would just stay with the Dell. But to be fair, HP does offer good notebooks just like every other manufacturers. We own many HPs in the family and not one has yet crapped on us.

cheers ...

The dell deals have passed, so the dv3t looks a lot more attractive.

Can i use a SATAII SSD? (the hp site says it uses sataI)
Any heat issues?
Battery life? (getting integrated graphics)
Noisy fan?
What exactly is the infinity screen and is it worth getting?
Anything I should know about it?

Thanks. I would really appreciate any suggestions here.

That is not a bad spec, even with the integrated GPU. Newer HP models are quiet and cooler (using Intel CPU).

cheers ...
