Laptop Choice

[alan30]

I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop and a HP Pavilion ZV 5000 series laptop. Similar age, Dell 1.6GHz Centrino,HP Pentium 4 2.8 GHz. Both have 1Gb memory. Dell has dedicated ATi Mobility Radeon X300128Mb graphics HP has ATI Radeon 9000 graphics using shared memory. One has got to go but I can't decide. Any views?

I'd keep the dell, personally. How do they perform when opening up programs and things? The centrino is more designed for mobile work (and should consume less power too), so the clock speed isn't the only factor.

DELL SUCK!!

If it where me, I'd bin them both and get an Acer! Higher specs, cheaper upgrades and lower operating temperatures (and they're supper quite)
