    Laptop build advice please?

    Im about to buy a new laptop and Ive decided to build one direct from HP. I dont know too much about hardware so I just want some opinions on how I did with the build. Im not going to be gaming with this laptop. Im mostly going to be using it for working on my sites. Also I will be listening to music and watching TV show and movies. Anyway here are the specs and price.

    HP Pavilion dv6t Select Edition customizable Notebook PC

    Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
    Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-460M Dual Core Processor (2.53 GHz, 3MB L3 Cache) with Turbo Boost up to 2.8GHz
    Intel(R) HD Graphics [HDMI, VGA] - For Dual Core Processors
    FREE Upgrade to 6GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm)
    640GB 7200RPM Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection
    6 Cell Lithium Ion Battery (standard) - Up to 5.25 hours of battery life +++
    15.6" diagonal High Definition LED HP Brightview Widescreen Display (1366x768)
    No TouchScreen (includes HP TrueVision Webcam)
    LightScribe SuperMulti 8X DVD+/-RW with Double Layer Support
    Intel Wireless-N Card
    Backlit Keyboard with HP SimplePass Fingerprint Reader
    HP Home & Home Office Store in-box envelope

    The total price including tax and shipping AND if I get the rebate will be $715.99

    If I dont get the rebate then the total price would be $865.99

    So what do you guys think? Sorry if this is a long post.

    You should make sure it has an HDMI slot if you have an HD TV and ever want to connect it and watch something off your computer. This is the only thing I did not think about and wish I had. It is a lot easier to get a long HDMI cable then to get a long DVI/VGA cable.

      I think it does have one, if it doesnt then I have 21 days to return it.
