    Hi,

    I am stuck in deciding on which laptop to go for among these two model:

    Acer Aspire Timeline X 4820TG :
    CPU: i5-460M
    RAM: 3GB DDR3
    GPU: 1GB
    SCREEN: 14"
    HDD: 500GB
    Cost: Rs. 46k (approx $1046)

    Acer Aspire 5742G:
    CPU: i5-430M
    RAM: 3GB
    GPU: 1GB
    SCREEN: 15"
    HDD: 500GB
    Cost: Rs. 41k (approx $932)

    The two seems to be of same configuration but still there is a difference of around Rs.5000 (approx $114).
    What is the difference between the two making such a big difference?
    Is processor itself making this difference or are there any other parameters involved?

    Is there any other good options in Dell or Lenovo with similar configuration.

    Thanks in advance.
