    Acer Aspire One 721-3574 1.7 AMD Athlon II Neo - vs - Acer Aspire AS1551-4755 1.3 AMD Athlon II Neo dual-core.

    Is it worth getting the single core over the dual-core.. What are the disadvantages and advantages of each please :)?

    I'm having a hard time deciding on an 11.6 " netbook/notebook with some graphics.

    Both CPUs are featured in this benchmark table. AMD Athlon II Neo K325 (the dual core one) is visibly faster than AMD Athlon II Neo K125 apart from SuperPi tests but it may affect your battery life more than K125- even though both use the same manufacturing process and have the same TDP.
