    hey there again. I am on a final decision going between e1505, either the stay connected one or the all round entertainment one.
    as far as I can see, the only difference is the processor, memory and the warranty (one year for cheaper, 2 for other).

    the specs are for stay connected ($949):
    Processor/Display

    Intel® Core™ Duo T2250 (1.73GHz, 2MB L2 Cache, 533MHz FSB)
    Memory
    1GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz, 2 Dimm

    for all round entertainment one ($1199):

    Processor/Display

    Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T5200 (1.6GHz, 2MB L2 Cache, 533MHz FSB)
    2GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHZ, 2 DIMM

    there is a $250 difference so I wanted to get you guyz opinion whether its really worth the 250 and will really make a difference. Cause if not, I will go wif da cheeper one. Thanks for all the input.Raspect

    Depending on your circumstances & what you'll be doing with the computer, I would go for the "Stay connected" model, and purchase RAM aftermarket when it becomes necessary. ( www.newegg.com) At least look and price it out.

    1GB will probably hold you nicely for the time being. You probably won't notice a difference in processor.

    Vespoli is right, buy the ram in the after market.
