The dv5000t's 15.4-inch, 1280 by 800 screen strikes a good balance between viewability and portability. And with this notebook's battery life, you'll want to step out. The 12-cell battery included with our test unit (which adds $39 to the price) lasted a phenomenal 7 hours, 7 minutes on one charge, a new record. The extra-tall rear-mounted battery, despite being a bit bulky and contributing to a 7.4-pound minimum weight, acts as a typing foot and lends the keyboard a welcome tilt similar to that of a full-size desktop keyboard.
