    I am considering buying a PAnasonic Y4 laptop. There are two different models available: one has a Pentium M LV 758 (1.5Ghz) and the other a Pentium M LV 778 (1.6Ghz) processor. All other features are the same: 512RAM, 60G - 5,400 HDD. Will there be any significant/measurable difference in performance between these two laptops?
    THanks for the feedback to come.

    Not much of a performance difference, at least nothing that you would notice especially that this is more of an extended mobility CPU rather than a performance one.
    Difference around 8% at best. If the cost isn't that much go for the faster, otherwise 1.5GHz will be quite fast for this class of notebooks.

    You might want to consider going for 1GB of RAM later on. Do the upgrade your self cause most likely it will cost less.

    By the way, please don't cross post :)
