Laptops

[Conor Ryan]

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.
