I currently have a Gateway MX6027 (1.4 Celeron M) Specs that I got for $600 at CC. Its been running good for the past week that ive had it, but now I have a chance to trade it for a Compaq Presario X1000 (1.4 Centrino) Specs The computer is used by a family member and has had the ram upgraded as well. Now, my third option is to take back my Gateway to CC get a refund (minus 15% restocking fee) and get a brand new HP NX5000 (1.8 Centrino) Specs I have not played around with it because it is brand new and I dont want to set it up incase we want to sell it. Im pretty sure the computer is the loaded vesrion although I have no way to verify it. The only thing I dont like about the NX5000 is that its missing the scroll pad as well it not being a widescreen. It does have a faster processor then the other two comps. I used the X1000 for a few weeks and I liked it. The gripe I have about the Gateway is the keyboard setup, speaker location, and the lack of a mouse/keyboard hookup (where I hook up my power for my external drive)
Alright let me know what you think
Thanks.
