    Below is the listing of what I want to get for my laptop... both systems cost the same, have the same componants, performance, connectivity.... but the zx5000 has the 9600 graphics card instead of the 9000. So, I was wondering, what is the difference between the two other than the graphics card?

    Is this from the same store?
    The zx5000 has a much better graphics card, so that is definetly the better deal and is pretty much the only difference between the two series zx and zv 5000. zx is dedicated graphics and zv is integrated. If you buy one you should go with the zx5000 as the graphics is at least 10x better for the entire system.
