    Laptop Choice

    To Dell or not to Dell that is the question

    I've got my mind set on getting a laptop. I've got about £500 of our British pounds to spend.

    The lappy won't be used for anything hugely stressful, office, surfing, some older 3D games. It'll probably be running Vista so it'll need a little grunt (I've seen Vista on a Celeron ).

    After some deliberation I've found a couple of not bad deals

    Dell Inspiron 6400

    Core Duo (not Core 2) 2060 1.6GHz
    1Gb Ram
    120Gb HD
    ATI X1400 128Mb dedicated ram (+128 shared).

    Pros - Bigger HD, dedicated video ram
    Cons - It's Dell hell when buying, CPU isn't 64bit

    And an HP Pavilion DV6231
    AMD 64x2 TL-50 1.6GHz
    1Gb RAM
    80Gb
    NVidia GO-6150

    Pros - Not Dell, 64bit Processor, I can collect from the shop
    Cons - Gfx not a patch on the Dell, smaller HD

    Any opinions?
