    Hi guys, this is the spec I want to buy. For both the R3000T and ZX5000 the spec is the same, except the ZX5000 is $30 more expensive.

    Which one would you recomment. The ZX5000 has the Harman-Kardon speakers...which I know should be good.

    I believe that these are from the exact same line of computers, meaning the only difference will be the exterior casing.

    Aren't the speakers on the HP slightly better than those on the Compaq?

    Pretty good for 2002 isn't it?

    they are better, just listen to the 2 side by side in a store. However, the compaq are still very nice.
