Of those two, I'd definitely get the HP from BB. Dual Core > Single Core.

Another consideration would be the Sony E-Series unit we have at Staples on clearance for $347 (Clearance, so YMMV, but we have 2 in Duncan, so I'd imagine the Lower Mainland will have some, too). Newer P6100 Pentium Dual Core, 4GB DDR3, 320GB, 15.5" screen, solid feel, and a much nicer keyboard (still International layout, bleh, but much better than the HP and Compaq keyboards). It's not advertised in the flyer, but the price drops on Boxing Day.
