centrino|1.7ghz|2gb
hmm. they look similar.
the capabilities are not just limited to processor and ram. For a better
comparison, you would need to know what support they have in the Kernel
for things like graphics card, video camera, usb ports, sound chips,
etc. And then you need to determine what your needs are. For general
use (web surfing, writing, playing music) both are fine. But then again,
I have an OLPC XO-1 and I can do those things with a 7" screen, 128MB
ram and a 400mhz processor. The more powerful task like photo editing,
compiling source code, playing games, and editing video are were you
will see the different in the laptops.
