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. -- Joel
