HP DM1Z(2011) or Lenovo X120e

I have a 600 dollar budget.

My intentions: Streaming hulu type websites, streaming youtube, and streaming dvd rips on a 50 inch panasonic plasma tv

If you have any other recommendations other then the ones i listed below, feel free to chip in, itd be greatly appreciated.

I've brought it down to two laptops, if it were you in my place, which one would you choose?


1. Lenovo X120E

Specs:

AMD E-350
AMD Radeon HD 6310 Graphics
4GB Ram
320GB Hard Disk Drive, 5400rpm
6 Cell Battery (5.0 hours)
weight: not sure?

Price: $510


2. HP DM1-4010US

Specs:

AMD E-450
4GB Ram
320GB (7200RPM) Hard Disk Drive
AMD Radeon HD 6320 Discrete-Class Graphics
Weight: 3.52 lbs

Price: $542


Verdict:

I love how the thinkpad looks, has a matte screen, apparently has a great keyboard + trackpad, however, i don't know if the specs are enough for what i'm going to use the laptop for.

The DM1Z, i hate how it looks, i hated the glossy screen on the touchpad, although i don't mind the screen on my sis's asus and my lcd monitor, but if its screen is anything like their touchpad, id probably end up returning it, and i hate that it is 3.52lbs.

However, the dm1z has better specs and i like the fact that it just got refreshed recently.

If you were in my place, which one of these laptops would you pick?

Or would you pick something entirely different.
