    im curious, what is a more powerful (or whatever you want to call BETTER) computer? DV5000 equiped with dedicated graphics, 1 gb ram, and ML-40 amd turion or DV2000 with dedicated 6150, 1GB of DDR2 ram, and TL-52 turion X2. I figure the graphics card is about the same, but the ram and hard drives are much better in the dv2000 (DDR2 and SATA) but the processor im not sure about. 1.6 ghz with 512kb x 2? give me your opinion, it would be much appriciated!

    You will get bigger screen for DV5000Z, but lighter on DV2000Z.
    One review shows ML-40 out perform TL-60, of course far better than TL-52 if your OS is not optimized for two core. I think TL-52 might get better on gaming test, or if you play game while you are encoding DVD.

    SATA is an ops. But I would rather wait more reviews coming out.

    Besides, HP spec DV2000Z will last 4:15 hrs for 6 cells. That is almost doubled than DV5000Z. I haven't seen any real test run yet.
