The Dell, simply because historically quite a few HP's die right after the warranty expires.

Well, for $50 more the HP has a bigger, faster hard drive (500G 7200rpm vs 320G 5400rpm) and comes with B-G-N compatible wireless whereas the Dell has only B-G. I'd probably have to give the nod to the HP in this case.

Do you want reliability or performance?

Believe it!!! My DV2000 died after just 20 months. HP was of no help. For some reason my S/N was not on the goodwill warranty repair list. I bought the DV2000 to replace my old Omnibook 4150 that was 10 years old and still working well. Goes to show you how HP quality has dropped in 10 years.
