Which laptop?

    I'm starting college and need a laptop. Was looking around and saw the deal on the Acer Aspire Timeline 3810TZ here - http://www.acerdirect.co.uk/Acer_Aspire_Timeline_3810TZ_Windows_7_Laptop_LX.PE602.039/version.asp?switchc=e

    I'm also looking at a HP G61-410SA (http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/hp-g61-410sa-04127309-pdt.html).

    I'm not too knowledgable when it comes to laptops so I was hoping some of you could help me make the decision. I'll need the laptop for college work, obviously, but I'll also use it for watching movies, streaming, etc. I think I'd prefer the bigger screen of the HP, but is it the better laptop? They're both around the same price, and I wouldn't want to go over 450 euro.

    Thanks in advance.

    BTW, does anyone know if pcworld are good to deal with, and what their shipping rates are like?

    Get the hp ,,its got a 15inch screen,no point in watching movies on a 13inch laptop.it has hdmi out, can connect to a hdtv.I THINK the hps the better laptop overall,they have similar cpus.

    Thanks for the input. On second look, that site doesn't ship that particular laptop. I'll be in Dublin tomorrow and there is a PCWorld there but will they have it?

    Did I read somewhere that PCWorld only do refurbished ones over here?
