Question:
Hp or Acer?
Im stuck between these two laptops, they are both fairly the same specs, but i just cant decide on which one to get, which one is the best in your opinion? I use quite a lot of programs at the same time, including photoshop CS2. Here is a link of the comparisons between the two laptops, btw the laptops are the Acer Aspire 5102 and HP DV2104EU. :confused: Im edging towards the HP as the specs are a little better.

Looks like U dont need big gaming power so I would stick with something on Core Duo with 15.4in, but maybe not Acer.
Have a look, and for the rest of the money U might get bigger HDD.
