what computer would be better the hpdv6130us or hpdv6120us?

Question

whats is the differance?

Answer 1

they are pretty much the same except the CPU (1GB ram, 120GB HD, DVD+/-R/RW lightscribe, GMA 950)
dv6120us: Core Duo T2250 (1.73GHz, FSB 533)
dv6130us: Core 2 Duo T5200 (1.60GHz, FSB 533) <--- is somewhat better despite lower clock freq.

i would choose the cheaper of them because you hardly notice a difference between these 2 processors.

Answer 2

a non-HP computer would be your best bet. Upgrading them is much harder and expensive than a lot of other brands.
