    Hi,
    I need help, and quick. Which one of these two machines is better in your eyes? I am mainly going for Photoshop editing and quick previews in a simulator to which I develop software for. Also for internet surfing, etc.

    Just overall, which is a better setup?

    Why is the slower processor more expensive in the longrun?

    Thanks!

    Personally, i'd choose the 6130...but then again i'm jaded!

    as to why the slower proc is more $$$? No friggen idea! Could be the manufactures markup or system config.

    But i will offer this warning...the 6130 is NOT that great on battery power!! So if you intend to use it as a true portable laptop...your in for a BIG dissapointment.

    However...if you are looking for a portable desktop REPLACEMENT, then the 6130 is you man (so to speak).
