I'm getting a laptop as a graduation present but I'm having a hard time deciding on what I'm getting since I have no idea what all these numbers mean but I've managed to narrow the choice down to two laptops:

Dell Inspiron 15
Intel Core 2 Duo T6400 processor
2.0GHz, 800MHz FSB, 2MB L2 Cache
4GB 800MHz DDR2 Ram
15.6" Widescreen WXGA (1366 x 768) TrueLife screen
1.3 megapixel webcam
256 MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330 graphics card
250GB 5.400rpm Serial ATA hard drive
8x DVD+/-RW

HP Pavilion dv5-1145
AMD Athlon X2 Duo Core QL-62 2,0GHz processor
15,4" WXGA High Definition BrightView screen
3 GB DDR2 RAM
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3450 512MB graphics card
320GB SATA 5400rpm hard drive
LightScribe Super Multi DVD Writer (+/-R +/-RW) with Double Layer support

I think I got everything about them. They cost exactly the same and will be used mostly for University work and the occasional lan party.

The second one looks probably better, but don't take my word for it.
