    hi everyone,

    i'm debating whether i should get an x41 or an x32. based purely on portability/sexiness, i'd love to get an x41. but it seems that the x32 may have better performance because of the faster processor (2GHz on x32 vs. 1.5GHz on x41), hard drive (5400rpm on x32 vs. 4200rpm on x41) and graphics card (dedicated memory on x32 vs. shared memory on x41).

    in the real world, is the x32 that much faster than the x41? also is the x41 fast enough?

    i develop some small web applications in my spare time. so in addition to the standard web/office apps, i also compile some small java apps with eclipse, edit php/html files with macromedia dreamweaver, and perform very light image edits with photoshop.

    fyi, my current laptop is a dell latitude c400 with a pentium iii 866mhz.

    any advice is greatly appreciated!

    The perforamnce increase from 4200RPM to 5400RPM will be noticeable.
