1. if i were you i would get the HP that is what i have and it has a few more features and also has great back-up from HP from day one also thier tec personel will help you with anything I mean anything
2. I would take the HP in a heart beat! I am partial to Gateway but, I have been lusting for a laptop like the HP in your link! I just purchased my Gateway 2 weeks ago and I love it. What really got me hankerin' for an HP is my Wife. She knows absolutely nothing about computers but, on the night a purchased my Gateway, she saw a "cute" little HP and fell in love with it. I did some investigating and research, including speaking with family that have HP laptops, and I won't say I regret my hasty decision to get what I got because of loyalty to the brand but, I really dig the HP brand now. We are buying the one she wants and my next one will be an HP. I know, blah, blah, blah, right? I do apologize for being so long-winded but, I really am passionate about computers and once I get started, I can't seem to shut up! Good Luck, and enjoy whichever choice you make.
3. Definitely The HP.I have two hp pavilions,they are awesome.You can't go wrong.highly recommend.Good Luck.Cheer's
