3810 (w/ SU2700) or 1410 (w/ SU2300)

I'm torn between the 13.3 and the 11.6. How do these two stack up in terms of processing power.

Intel Pentium SU2700 1.3GHz / 4GB RAM / 320GB Hard Drive / Intel GMA 4500MHD Graphics / 802.11N Wireless / Webcam / Vista Home Premium 64-Bit

and this

http://www.jr.com/acer-computer/pe/ACE_AS14102285/
Intel Celeron 1.2GHz SU2300 / 2GB RAM / 160GB Hard Drive / Intel GMA 4500MHD / Webcam / 802.11N Wireless / HDMI / 6-Cell Battery / Windows 7 Home Premium

I think I remember reading that the SU2300 is better (or perhaps better bang for your buck) than the SU3500. I'm pretty sure the SU3500 is supposed to be better than the SU2700. So, does that make the SU2300 better when compared to the SU2700?

I'm haven't made up my mind on the 13.3" form factor, but the $499 price point seemed like a deal. Also, is the 13.3" eligible for Windows 7?

Thanks.

 

the su2300 is dual core
the su2700 is single core

 

SU2300 is very similar to SU7300, SU9300 etc. with the exception of less cache. Intel is playing games with the Celeron, Pentium, Core Solo and Core 2 Duo naming. The initial passmark scores for SU2300 have shown it's about 100 points lower than SU7300 (going by memory, I don't have the results in front of me), which is quite impressive. It's supposedly faster than SU2700/SU3500 etc.

 

I bought this instead.

Couldn't resist. I might keep it boxed for a day or two and see what users are saying for battery life. I'd like 5 hrs under regular use.

I might get an 11.6 Timeline for myself later. That HP is for my wife.
