    Does anybody know the difference between the zx5000 vs r3000 series laptops by HP/Compaq? They appear to have the same hardware except one uses H/K and JBL speakers, is the only difference the bezel?

    There are a few different r3000 models, the one with the dedicated graphics is basically the same, but after configuring them on hp's website the zx5000 was about 50.00 cheaper.
    Most of the rest of the differences are cosmetic, in the packaging they have a book with both the r3000T and the zx5000 that tells you what everything on the outside is. If I get a chance this weekend I will scan them in and post that with anything else I feel will help.
