1. That one is OK. But sounds expensive with 14 inch. Dual core has no use for single user and especially for laptop. AMD 3500 or even Celeron 3.2 is highly enough for any type of application. 14 inch is small. I would chose min. 15 inch today. I use dual core only on my media server, where when one core is busy with streaming media through home, multiple users, I can use other core for converting movies etc. And you pay alot for MS Vista and Office!!! May be 3,4 hundreds of $$. I would choose free Linux and free Office. Finally I would choose also HP because they are fair on social rights of Chinese workers. Many other brands abuse Chinese workers in these days. .
