Answer #1
lol
The HP is better in every way (sans the backlit keyboard, maybe) and is cheaper. What’s to decide?
Answer #2
Both of them are HP…..
Answer #3
Your deduction skills aren’t too sharp are they?
Answer #4
what did you end up getting?
if you got the beats could you upload win 7 to fileserve?
mates got a hp beats , nice little machine but to tiny and to expensive ( sound is not as good as it should be)( my toshiba 17″ 10yr old laptop has better sound )
he took it to local repair place and they have deleted the restore partition and reinstalled win 7 ( VERY BADLY ) and now none of the q/launch buttons work ( even with hp quicklaunch installed ) no virus , they just had no clue as to what to do
stupid thing is the lappy’s only 6mths old and HP want to charge to fix it , ( which is only fair as he messed with it )
Answer #5
