What Laptop - HP DV9880 (2.5 GHz T9300), DV5-1015 (P8400 2.26GHz) or FE562EA (2.1GHz T8100)?? I am confused between the following laptops and would welcome any recommendation or advice that anyone can be able to give:
DV9880 - £ 910
T9300 2.5 GHz (800 MHz bus, 6MB cache) processor, 17 "Brightscreen, 3 GB RAM, 320 GB HD, BlueRay, 512 MB graphics card, Bluetooth, use 30W, weight 3.5 kg.

FE562EA - £ 610
2.10ghz T8100 (800 MHz bus, 3Mb Cache) Processor, 15.4 "Brightscreen, 3 GB RAM, 320 GB HD, graphic card 256 MB, LightScribe, Bluetooth, use 29W, weight 3.1 kg.

DV5-1015 - £ 800
2.26 P8400 (1066 MHz bus, 3Mb Cache) Processor, 15.4 "Brightscreen, 4GB RAM, 250GB HD, BlueRay, 256 MB graphics card, weight 2.65 kg.

The laptops will be used mainly for Internet, e-mail, word processing and other work activities (back-end site / content management software) and the preparation of marketing materials, flyers, posters, mailings, etc.
The DV9880 premium is £ 300 more than the FE562EA - but it has a faster processor (0.4ghz faster with more cache), 256MB of additional graphics cards and BlueRay - Similarly the DV5 -1015 is 100 pounds less and less processor is 0.24ghz? Am I really the difference between these specifications (as in processor speed and graphics) that I need the laptop and it's worth paying extra for the specification?
I am puzzled as to what is best positioned to pick up and will be sufficient for my needs? Is the FE562EA do the job and also save me £ 200-300?
I'm not fussed about the size of the screen, as I will be adding a TFT when used at the reception.
Thank you all for your help in advance.
I say this is the first or last are the best. first fastest processor, but the last higher processor and a concert additional RAM memory hungry Vista
Sorry, but I would avoid Dell or HP laptop altogether - I have a lot of these for repair at an early age (sometimes even within the warranty of the machine is so poor) ;
Go Sony, Acer, Toshiba or the best quality and reliability.
I disagree with JG, there is nothing wrong with the quality or reliability of HP.
In this list I would choose the latter.
