I've narrowed my decision to these two laptops. I went to the store to actually see what the dv2000t, and I really like the screen and case. However, I am not able to see a Lenovo N100 Value in person.

Both Laptops have very mixed reviews; generally good, but still there are negatives to both.

Which one would YOU suggest?

My Budget is 999.99 and below, that is why both laptops appeal to me.

Anyone care to input? I would appreciate if there was any

lenovo you can get it for like 699us when its on sale. plus lenovo is better than hp imo

if i were you, i'd buy a used toshiba

I just bought a toshiba with a celeron-m 1.7 ghz processor (almost same as a centrino, except have the L2 cache), 40 gig hdd, 1.5 gb of ddr2 ram, ati 200m 128 mb integrated video, 15" glossy widescreen in mint condition for like 410$ USD shipped.

you should keep your eyes out for a good deal around the 500$ range . . . on anandtech

Jason, no need to buy an used laptop with old technology if the guy has a budged of 1k. Maybe he wants a new machine rather than a used one, even if it saves him 500 bux.

If I had a choice between the hp or lenovo, I would go with the latter as I think lenovo has a better build quality and support. But if I had a budged of 1k and wanted a laptop, I would also look elsewhere also such as Dell or Acer or maybe Toshiba. But since u narrowed ur choice down to those 2 only, my vote is lenovo.

Alright then, Does anyone here have any better laptops to suggest that come to under 1k with a warranty ?

I'd prefer it to be under 6 lbs.
