go with the 549.99 one, its got a faster processor, weighs less, and will probably be smaller (its taller but not as wide or long)
The only thing the more expensive laptop has going for it is the DVD-RW and for some reason its got twice as much L2 cache...Dont quite understand that.
So the 649.99 will probably be more powerful and the 549.99 will be cheaper and more portable. It's your call. I give up comparing them now though because im tired of switching between windows.

I'd go with the Acer Aspire. I have first hand experience with both, and I can safely say pretty much any hp (especially the Pavillion series) laptop is crap, if not just for their flimsy cases which most likely won't last more than a few months under normal use.

Some HP laptops are decent, as amazing as it may seem. It's a hit'n'miss affair though.
