The performance skew of the HP ZE2000Z came in at a point that surprised us. For the most part, our HP ZE2000Z equipped with an AMD Mobile Sempron 3000+ (1.8GHz) just slightly eked ahead of the older HP ZE2000 based on the Centrino platform with a 1.5GHz Dothan Pentium-M 715A. In the grand scheme of the many Pentium-M based systems that we have tested, you can see where the system falls in line.
