HP dv2000 or Dell XPS M1210?

by s.collier4 Jul 13, 2006 8:40AM PDT

Which would you choose?

I'm looking for a system for school - I'm not into games, but more of a movies/music guy. Also want something portable and lots of hard disc space. Which is the better choice here?

The Dell

It has a dedicated nVIDIA GeForce Go 7400 GPU. It will be better to run Windows Vista AERO Glass with this computer than the dv2000 which has an integrated GPU.

dv2000t

With the poor showing of the dv2000z model with the AMD dual core system, I would give a hard look at the dv2000t model now. They just started offering a discrete video card (Nvidia GeForce go 7200) which is pretty nice for a laptop of that class. I also own one and would like to say that is is a fantastic looking and performing machine.
