I've got some great deals on sports tickets.... You know some make $$ from the s/h charges.. The bottom line is read the description and you make the choice to buy. "Its a cruel world out there" Don't worry, what goes around... you know the rest. PS. Not everyone checks thier email daily, as well you noted "payment must be recieved with in 7 days" "sent the money orders Friday morning at 11:00am" If you sent payment express he might get it Sat. otherwise Mon. would be the earliest. It is close. I'm glad this seller does not have his finger on that button in Washinton. Or maybe he does... Dunt-Dunt-Dunt-Dunnnnnn ;-)

My opinion is they are pretty much the same. (Its a laptop!!) 14", 15" to me no big deal they are both small. If waiting for the rebate is a issue, you gotta ask yourself if you have the money to make the purchase in the first place? I really don'nt care for any of the big manf., I build my own. And yes its a tough call. I just believe that Dell's materials are ever so slightly better then the HP. I would call these no frills, bottom shelf systems. The bottom line is what kind of computing ya wanna do and ya get what ya pay for.... I would just feel better getting the Dell and its that gut feeling that makes the Dell my choice.

1st Post… It’s my opinion that they both are good deals in there own rights. As far as functionality, the productivity and $$ are in your software. A realization Bill Gates became aware of while writing the code for IBM® and their operating system respectively known as (IBM DOS). IBM saw the $$ in the hardware, hence the name “INTERNATIONAL BUSSINESS MACHINES” or something like that and Gates in the Software, “Microsoft”. In the infancy stage of the computer development era many manufactures built what is known as “proprietary” computer systems cause they thought they would make the $$ by selling add-on or replacement parts along with the relative customer service work. I believe HP’s fame and fortune was derived by the printer business, sell’em at an attractive price and get rich by selling the “proprietary” ink… We’ll HP bought Compaq not to long ago, or maybe they merged?? But the real issue is “proprietary”. The old adage you get what you pay for holds true for the most part. I’ve built the two systems I use with aftermarket components for upgrade ability purposes. Mr. Dell whom built custom computers in his dorm room noticed the “cookie cutter” offerings of the big guys and decided to give people options, we all like options… Mr. Dell now sits with the Forbes 100 richest, just under Mr. Gates and Allen whom were cofounders of Microsoft (originally called Micro Soft), oh yea Warren Buffet the investment mogul is rubbing elbows to… It’s a craps shoot, but if I were to get one or the other I’d get the Dell. If for some reason the Dell was out of stock and I wanted a system real bad, I would have no problem getting the HP to satisfy my lack of patience… It all boils down to what do ya need it for……. Heck, there are a lot of software programs out that cost more then these laptops. I could go on but, may everyone have a safe and happy buying experience. PS. And please, no pushing ;-)
