    What would be the difference between the 1.5 GHz and the 1.6 GHz (besides the speed, of course) Are there any notable differences in battery life, etc etc?

    Thanks!

    The answer to both of your questions is: negligible. You're probably better off saving the 50-100 from that upgrade and use it on something else.

    I tend to agree, I'd upgrade if it were $50 or less and budget wasn't a major concern, but otherwise, it's a pass.
