No it's not a swap, my wife for a laptop, but which out of the Sony VAIO CR42S/L or HP DV4-1100EA do you reckon would be best?
She wants a 14inch machine which has narrowed things down a bit and budget is about 600, which both of those fall into.
The Sony is 'older' tech as it's now EOL (and why it's come down to a cheapish price), has a better processor but smaller HD and is not centrino 2.
I think the HP is newer, although I don't think it's part of HPs current lineup, it is Centrino 2 and has a bigger HD but the processor is worse spec.
The Sony has an older Radeon X2300 graphics card with 128 meg whereas the HP has a 512meg 9200 GS, seeing as both will have Vista will the Sony be ok with that?
It's only going to be really used for web browsing/office stuff so as long as it's snappy enough for that it's all good.
Can't really decide between the 2 so any advice appreciated
