So here we go, I have two laptops on my list and I just can't decide on which to go with, because both have pro's and con's.
I will mostly use it to browse the web and watch movies on the go, I am not sure if I will play any games on it but if I will then it will definately be BF2 (which wont run on HP), so that is where I am really stuck on. I like how HP looks but I'd rather go with Dell but I've heard good and bad about Dell and actually owned a Dell Laptop and had problems with the charging port on it. HELP :)

1)
HP Pavilion DV2432NR
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core TK-53
14.1"
2GB RAM
120GB HDD
NVidia GeForce Go6150
Vista Premium
$549 after TAX

Pro's: Vista Premium :) :( lol, lighter, can have by end of today CompUSA :) BF sale, I think HP is more reliable but not sure.

Con's: AMD CPU (power usage, runs hotter), integrated graphics with no memory, faster HDD.

2)
Dell Vostro 1400
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T5270
14.1 inch Wide Screen XGA LCD Display with TrueLife
2GB RAM
128MB NVIDIA® GeForce™ 8400M GS
Bluetooth
Vista Home
$699 after TAX

Pro's: Intel CPU, Good video card, Bluetooth, more sturdy.

Con's: Heavier, runs hot when really using because of crazy power/video card, worse battery life, not sure if Dell is any good, costs more and takes longer to get it.

PS: Please help me decide which one to get. Thank you
 
If you using it at home/ office, then get Dell.
But if you use it on train/ plane, and do a lot of travelling, then go for HP
 
I think daisymtc comment is associated with being small. size is important and what your using it for. my toshiba is 17" and heavy big. nothing portable about it. just a thought.
 
If you going to play BF2 both are fine but dell is better. The HP AMD processor does not run hotter. It has the same thermal design power. I'd go with the dell because of its newer gpu.
