Both HPDV1000 and Toshiba M35X notebooks under $1,000 are going to have the Intel CELERON Pentium M (Centrino) which is a decontented cpu -- it has only 1/4 (yes 25% you are reading that right) the L2 system cache as the full Pentium M 715 Dothan or higher (2mb L2 system cache). Yes, that means you are getting only 548kb L2 cache -- the Banias Pentium 1.4 I bought in May 2004 even had 1mb L2 system cache.
Both of these notebooks also have only shared (integrated) video memory.
The Toshiba M35X has a 15.4" widescreen and the HPDV1000 has a 14" widescreen with the instant on DVD and CD functions.
I would not recommend buying any notebook with a Celeron cpu -- you are better off buying refurbished.
You can get either one of these notebooks with a Pentium M 715 1.5 or higher for just over $1,000 (or at least in the $1100 - $1300 range depending on other specs) but if that is too high I recommend that you look at Dell or HP/Compaq refurbished.
This Celeron Cpu makes your notebook almost obsolete before you even turn it on as the engine is drastically decontented just as a 4 cylinder
Ford Mustang would be ............
