Hp Dv9500t Vs. Dell Inspiron 1720 Or Vostro 1700? Laptops?

Filed under 17 inch Laptop
All with similar configurations: 2.2 – 2.4GHZ, 256MB Video, 3GB RAM, 17″ screen (highest res).
HP is offering a 30% coupon.. which means the HP will be roughly $600 less than how much it would cost me to get an Inspiron or Vostro that has no obvious advantages (lower GHZ CPU).
Only main difference is that the HP has a 8600M GS video card.
Both Dells have 8600M GT cards.
I want this laptop to last, but I still can’t decide. Which is better in overall build?. I’ve had a Dell desktop that was a pain in the neck since day one (faulty hard drive on delivery, replaced and corrupted again, motherboard faulty x3) .. but it’s last me 7 years.
Opinions?.
Is the increased price for Dell really worth it?.
I plan on upgrading with my own RAM. Any laptop is set at min config. to save money so I can do this.
Hmm…
Long ago, in a land far far away…Dell was king with technology and deals. Mostly for schools and businesses with $ for large discounted purchases.
Hp was doing well, but stumbles when buying the failing compac co. of computers. But Hp rallies with better products and service on great package deals and technology!
The vid cards will not be that different to warrant a split in your buying decision.
My exp. tells me to go with the HP. You will be buying a well rounded product at an affordable , (Even $300.00 discounted) price.
