Can anybody tell me which laptop is better for watching movies?Hp pavilion(any one of them) and Dell XPS 14) I'm planning to bring it to school... Both looks good.
 
I have bad times with My HP Pavilion dv2108tx. So I guess if you don't want to be disappointed and lose more money with your laptop go for Dell XPS
 
HD dv6-3140 paired with ati hd5650 and core i5 460m and save yourself some money
it will be around 800$. And it has switchable graphics which will allow you to use if for 4,5 hours when not gaming
 
Stay away from HP. They tend to make sub par laptops that don't last very long, including newer ones, i.e. high temps, which will diminish the life of it. What are you looking to spend? Perhaps we can find something out there that suits your needs.
