Well the Dm4 is quite old already, new ones have improved. Mentos, perhaps you can take a look at other HP units
But still, I would say the G470 is better

till that tahap o... G470 better for sure.. btw, compaq and hp same build ha?? oso HP leh...

Compaq brand is dead isn't it?
I would rate HP's build quality as... meh.

dead? compaq itself or compaq hp?

is B470 official here? it is kind of i3-2310M on budget, 1699myr with finger print, W7 HP sensor

The name is dead, but the brand now lives within HP
I don't think so =\

But lenovo G470 design is bad compare to HP.

performance of these two is really significant?

thats what i mean. so can consider compaq nw is HP la...

yup

g470 cpu 2.3Ghz only

but

HP 2.66Ghz

so its HP cpu better?

Sandy Bridge i5-2410M is better. Refer here for more details: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Proces...ist.2436.0.html
Still, if you really like the HP, then just go for it

14 inch . heard good reviews of asus and lenovo brand . any good models to recommand ? must be stable . it doesnt matter new or old . in terms of warranty which is better and faster ? thanks in advance

^if want better warranty term, go with Dell, they offer onsite services..

Good models would be getting those brands that they advertise a lot on because it'll probably have more work done to make sure it's good (for reputation)
For ASUS is the N-series
ASUS N43SL - i5-2410M + GT540M 1GB + 4GB DDR3 + B&O speakers!
I don't know about Lenovo's series
