Question:
Change my ASUS A7D(Z83) for HP dv9000t?
I'm thinking of moving on to a HP Pavilion dv9000t with 1,66 C2D,leaving my ASUS A7D(Z83 with AMD in the US) behind.
I'm now experiencing Turion MT 32 and X700 performance,with 2:15-2:30 battery life while wifi browsing and almost perfect assembly quality. Had upgraded to 1GB RAM and 7200rpm hdd a month ago.
A brief inspection to a dv9000t at the local shop gave me the impression of a very good built quality for the 9000t but not exactly on par with the Asus. Also the 9000 is slightly smaller(and has a 5400 hdd-no other option available here)
Do you think the performance increase of the 1,66 C2D over the Turion and of the 7600 over the X700 would qualify for the slightly smaller battery life, as reported here in the computer-notebook forum (hp&compaq section), and a 300$ price difference?

I wouldn't upgrade until Santa Rosa hits. That Asus is still pretty powerful, and should be able to get you by for a few more months. Just my .02
