Question:
Compaq Presario V6120US vs Dell Inspiron 6400
Hello to all,
Great forum going on here.
I'm in the market for a laptop for my daughter.
With a budget of around 800 dollars it seems to come down for me to these two choices.
Can't find any reviews on the Compaq however. Circuit City is selling the Compaq on sale for 749.00.
Any input is greatly appreciated.
I don't want to waste a lot of space with the specs, but if they are needed, I'd be happy to post them.
Thanks

Specs would be great, esp. for the Dell as there are various configuration options. The hp dv6000t may another option...the FAQ will let us suggest other models.
