I'd go for the HP.  I bought a HP nx7400 2 weeks ago (which has similar
specs) and everything except sound and the wireless stuff seems to work.
A Beta driver for the sound exists and it works well on my laptop, but
it hasn't been committed to current yet.  Dunno about the status of
wireless support, but I heard rumors about a port of the wpi(4) driver
from OpenBSD.
