    I presently own an Inspiron 9400 with a T5500 and a Geforce 7900GS, 120GB HD, and 1 2GB stick of ram, and running Win7.
    My dislikes:
    Heavy at 8.0lb
    Brand new battery lasts only 1hr 30min
    Screen quality is kind of washed out

    What I'm looking for:
    -Light and small
    -Something with comparable performance with non game programs, such as IE, FireFox, Adobe Acrobat, MS Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook, etc. 90%+ of what I use is productivity software. Now, sure I watch Flash movies online, such as youtube or hulu and downloads from itune9.


    Why do you guys think? The Y450 or the U350?
    Here are the specs:
    Y450
    P8700
    Geforce G110M
    4GB DDR3

    OR

    Y350
    SU7300
    4500MHD
    4GB DDR3

    My main concern is if I will be disappointed with the U350 CPU. Now, my current CPU, T5500, I'm fine with.

    Recommendations?
