well if the second one is 450 after MIR, then it sucks because your paying taxes on 165, whic makes it more, and it has the X2 which is inferior to the C2D.

If it's 450 then a 165 MIR, then I'd say that's the better buy.

Is there a difference in screen resolution also? one says HD brightview....

You plan to upgrade the ram on whichever one you get? I'd go with an Intel based notebook for sure and honestly I'd steer you away from Compaq.

I would go for the best buy one.

I plan to upgrade the ram and probably wipe it and out xp on whichever I get.
