    Compaq with the Sempron, no contest, though its 4200RPM HD is somewhat annoying.

    The Sempron wins hands down against the Celeron. I wouldn't exactly find a 4200 rpm drive crippling, it mainly depends on the things you do. All the notebooks I've ever used have had 4200 rpm drives and I've never complained.
