What is the difference in speed processing for 1.66 ghz dual core versus 2.0 ghz dual core. Which hard disk drive speed is better, 4200 rpm or 5400 rpm? Which has better screen resolution for notebooks especially when watching dvd movies, 256mb or 128 mb? Which brand would you recommend for notebooks HP or sony? Based on experience, which notebook is more durable, hp or sony? I have also heard bad experiences with toshioba. The screen conks out in less than a year and when you hvae it checked the real defect is the motherboard. I have 2 acquaintances withe this sad experience. When they had it repaired they were given a run around by toshiba. I was planning to buy a toshiba but after this news I decide to choose between hp and sony.

The 1.66ghz processor even though it's duo core is a little slow compared to most notebooks out there. depending on what you are doing, you might not notice the difference too much..but the 2.0 is a much better processor. 5400 rpm is better, it reads quicker because it is turning at a higher rate. ..again, you probably wouldn't really notice the difference (unless your big into gaming). Me personally i like the HP's. haven't dealt much with the sony so i'm not sure but HP does make nice notebooks.

hp is better but no matter what you get make sure to opt for at least a 2 year warranty
