    I am currently looking for advice in making a decison between the zv5330 and zv5430. I would be greatful if anyone who can provide any reasoning why I should be leaning one way or another.

    Use:
    75% Business
    15% Watching DVD's
    10% Itunes and music

    I haven't been able to find any reviews on the zv5430 but there are many favorable ones on the zv5330. I can currently get a zv5430 for about $300 less than the zv5330.

    The zv5430, no contest. Better CPU (Athlon 64), better DVD burner (multiformat versus the old plus-only format, probably faster too), dedicated memory GPU versus shared memory GPU, no Intel marketing tax.
