    I'd go with the e1505 for the battery, but really, they aren't that different, so you should go with the less expensive one, but it is up to you. I'm guessing the 6000 you are looking at is from the outlet, so if it is scratch and dent, than this is probably a no brainer. Wait for a few other opinions though.

    Sorry, battery is the same (I think). Still, it's best to go with the 1505.

    the x1300 is roughly equivalent to the x600. so it would be an upgrade in gpu.

    Take the 6000, you have a higher resolution screen on it, aside from that, they seem evenly matched
