    I am going to buy a used laptop.

    The choices i have are these two..

    1. Around 2-3 years used Elitebook 8530p
    HP EliteBook 8530p Overview & User Reviews - Laptops - CNET Reviews

    C2D 2.53Ghz 6mb L2
    4Gb DDR2
    250GB hard drive
    15.6 inch screen
    esata - hdmi



    and


    2. Around 1 year used Probook 4530s

    HP ProBook 4530s Specs (15.6" - Core i3 2310M - Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit - 4 GB RAM - 320 GB HDD) - Laptops - CNET Reviews

    Core i3 - 2310
    4Gb Ram
    300Gb hard drive
    esata - hdmi



    I know that 4530s has latest Gen. proc and stuff.......but i don't need that much computing power anyways... i want more durability. the features are pretty much the same in both.
