1. HP is a prettier name
2. all are good,but I would buy a dell,go dell.com and look at what they have,the reason i am saying dell because I have been running a dell desk top and a dell laptop for years,good support,others may disagree but that is their right,I just KNOW how good dell is
3. Its not the brand name but whats inside the laptop that counts.
4. i have a close friend who is a comp. tech. and he says he fixes mostly dells and hp's....hp's aren't very good performance wise and dont really last too long.
5. Most Lappys are junk compared to a PC. The more you spend the better quality you get though. Most are built off shore anyway, even Dell now. I have a 2 yo Acer that's been perfect for what i need but if i get another 2 years out of it i will consider myself very lucky.
6. HP is good but you also can't go wrong and I personally recommend Dell! There are hidden long-run costs that one does not initially see when you purchase a Notebook PC other than Dell, HP or IBM and later encounter difficulties or attempt buying replacement parts like a battery, or say a keyboard etc. Also if you're buying for college then I do NOT recommend a Notebook PC bigger than 15.4" bec we have 3 DELLs incl a larger 17" Notebook PC and the larger ones are nice but much too heavy to lug around campus as well as too big for lecture hall desks in college... I mentioned we own 3 Dell Notebook PCs and why I recommend DELL, HP or IBM for those living in the United States is that those 3 particular PC Notebook manufacturers literally supply all the business Notebook PCs to the major corporations and Government so replacement parts are readily available esp on EBAY at even a more reasonable price than the manufacturer website. Thus in the long run, being able to get the exact replacement part extends the life on your investment. FYI my 1st Notebook PC was Gateway bec I couldn't afford Dell at the time and what a mistake is was when I needed to purchase a new Notebook battery <= costly bec not readily available like Dells... and FYI I also ran into a similar problem when attempting to upgrade the memory.
