HP Pavillion Laptop dv4 vs dv6 (Staples)

Hi Fellow SDers...my desktop crashed over a month ago (with all my kids pictures on it- ) and I have been searching for a laptop deal since. It seems like I am always too late to get in on the B&M/on-line deals.

Anyway, I narrowed my search down to HP Pavillion dv4-1430US or dv6-1230US. My local Staples has both of these. From what I gather they have the same specs but here are the differerences I found:

dv4
Moonlight White
14.1" WXGA
6-Cell Lithium-Ion battery
3 USB slots
5.08 lbs
Price after Rebate: $549.99
vs.

dv6
Espresso Black
15.6" 16:9 Widescreen
12-Cell battery
4 USB slots
6.34 lbs
Price after Rebate: $599.99

They both have these common specs:
2.1 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T6500
4GB RAM DDR2
320GB (5400 RPM?) SATA
LightScribe SuperMulti 8X DVD R/RW with Double Layer Support
Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1
Wireless LAN 802.11a/b/g/n WLAN
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD
5-in-1 Integrated Digital Media Reader
No Bluetooth
Webcam
eSATA/USB port
HDMI


My questions:

Are these good laptops for the $$?

Which one is a better "deal"? There is only a $50 difference between the two. For $50 more, you get a larger screen & larger battery.

Staples has the original price of the dv4 higher than the dv6. Why? That doesn't make sense to me.

The dv4 gets higher reviews than the dv6.

Do e-junkie on-line coupons work on laptops?


This tech noob thanks you for your help!

It is always good to buy a laptop with a smaller screen and so the weight is also reduced and more comfortable.
The 6 cell battery should also be fine if you do not unplug your laptop that much frequently.
i recommend DV4 but wait until after labor day, as there maybe better deals the weeks after.
I bought a same kind but a 15inch for $399.
Thanks
