    Hi

    I was about to get the 5101 when I saw the 5102 in Comet (a UK store) and decided that this could be a possible buy.

    Does anyone know whether there is a big difference in processing power of the dual core processor of the 5102 versus the single core of the 5101? Even though the 5102 is dual core, its running at 1.6 GHz vs the 2.0GHz of the 5101.

    (5101's processor - Mobile AMD MK-36 Turion 2.0GHz Processor
    5102's processor - AMD Turion X2 64 Dual Core TL-50 1.60 GHz)

    Does anyone from the UK (I've been told that specs differ from country to country) know what the graphics card is on the 5102? The spec at Comet just says integrated graphics.

    Am I missing something and that I should definitely get the 5102 over the 5101 if I'm comparing these 2 laptops :eek:

    Thanks
