Re: Laptops

Ok, Funny thing here. I'm also in the market for Laptops and i'm looking at if not the same but similar ones. My choice is the HP zv6000 for several reasons:
-Cheapest
-Fastest RAM (the sony is slower)
-Most Up to date Video Card
-All the Reviews I have read really like it
-A person in my Architecture class has it already, and I got to use it, its an amazing laptop everything about it is pretty good. She said her average battery life is around 3 hours, and she can get 3.5 if she turns the Brightness on the display down.

Mike, have you also considered buying a cheaper laptop and then add more RAM in yourself? It may work out to save you a few bucks, plus you can probably find a 80 gig 7200 rpm HDD which will signifigantly increase your performance.

Also I went on to the HP/Compaq site to compare the laptops, the R4000 and the ZV6000 are exactly the same if you don't count the case they are in. I heard something online that I find to possibly be true, HP is the Flagship line and the Compaq is the "Budget" line. But from my research they are exactly the same.
