Sny vs HP notebook

[marcplante]

Wife is looking at 2 16" notebooks at Costco. Buying from costco b/c of their customer service.

Specs Below

In a nutshell. The HP has a slightly faster processor and a higher end graphics card, though it also has a lower resolution screen.

Final point of comparison would be the reliability records of these boxes. My wife lugs her notebook all over the house like a third child. It gets used for everything from surfing, to reviewing recipes on the kitchen counter, to watching movies (yes, we'd opt for an HDMI connection to the Plasma downstairs from time to time (say 50%)

Any thoughts appreciated.
