    6720S: C2D 2.0Ghz, 2GB ram, 160GB hdd. No Remote, no TV tuner, no firewire, no fingerprint, no nvidia 8400.

    Pavilion 6000series: C2D 1.66Ghz, 2GB ram, 160 hdd, has remote, TV tuner, fingerprint, firewire, nvidia 8400.

    Now the thing is both have almost same price despite 6720 having less extra features. I wonder why? Is it just because compaq is a business laptop?

    Build quality is important to me. Its true I am not gonna play crysis etc, although i am gonna watch movies etc. I have external speakers.

    I just found out that 6720S has MONO speaker!!

    How much difference is there b/w 6720's mono speakers& other laptop's stereo speakers while listening music/watching movies?
    Is it ok to go for 6720?

    -Thank you.
