    I'm looking at buying a new notebook this week and I think that I've got it narrowed down to either the M20 or the D610. From what I can tell the specs and the price come in almost identically. I'm leaning towards the M20 but is there something here that I'm missing?

    According to information from dell.com, M20 has "class OpenGL accelerated ATI Mobility FireGL V3100 64MB graphics" while D610 has "Mobile Intel® 915PM Express Chipset w/ ATI MOBILITYTM RADEON® X300 with 64MB DDR video memory". FireGL is a better video card than X300 even though they have the same amount of video memory. There may be other differences that I am not aware of.
