Which of the following HP Laptops is better?

a.) HP Pavilion dv5z series -$579.00 b.) HP Pavilion dv6700t series $629.00 c.) HP Pavilion dv5t series $749.00 Which of the above will serve as a useful college laptop? I didn't really see any differences among the three, but I'm assuming there has to be some major differences because of the major price differences. Thanks!

1. I am a university student and experienced laptop user. I JUST ordered the dv5t like two days ago. The differences: Computer A is running an AMD processor. Computer B is running the older Intel Core 2 Duo Processor. Computer C is running the latest Intel Core 2 Duo Processor. Their is a big debate as to which is better: AMD vs Intel. AMD will always be cheaper. But my rule is to stick to what you know best and what has served you well. I have always used Intel processors and have never had a problem with any of them so I stuck with Intel. I would go with the dv5t, obviously, because it is the best out of the three. If you order through hp.com you will be able to customize it. Its a great computer and hp has an academic purchase program so you can be eligible for a discount if your school is a participant. I did a side by side price comparison when I ordered my Hp laptop. Computer A (AMD version) and Computer C (intel version) actually came out to be about the same price after I customized them to the specifications I wanted. Email me if you have any more questions in regards to Hp laptops!
2. The Z at the end stands for AMD processors, the T stands for Intel processors (yes, I know it is silly). The difference between the DV6700T and the DV5T is the latter has the higher end hardware choices. It has the new graphics card series choices.
3. Like Gzus said t stands for Intel and those particular 2 have Intel Core 2 Duo proccessors which are at the slowest 2.0 Ghz, the fastest AMD can get is 1.9 Ghz, so I would probably get B and if money is no matter computer C.
