    Hey, trying to figure out which one of these two to get

    Amazon.com: ASUS U30JC-B1 13.3-Inch Laptop - Silver: Electronics

    Amazon.com: Asus K42JC-B1 14-Inch Versatile Entertainment Laptop - Dark Brown: Electronics

    tough decision, what do you guys think. Have you heard anything good or bad about either of these?

    i guess the main question is how noticable the 5400rpm hard drive would be compared to the 7200rpm. And the build quality of each given one is presumably plastic (k42jc) while the other has a fair bit of brushed aluminum

    The K42 is better is most ways, the HDD capacity and speed, the CPU. Personally I like 14" screens over 13." Both are great looking laptops, but I'm partial to black notebooks.
