    I know this might sound like a minor thing given the main differences between these two models but I nearly always use a mouse with my laptops and often plug in external speakers so having the audio sockets at the front part of the side of the laptop on the 5160 seems an like a unnecessary design choice given that the 8130 has them at the rear. I don't care where the optical drive is because I hardly ever use it but it would seem sensible to place connectors that might need cables running from them on a semi-permanent basis to be placed at the rear.

    I'm finding it hard to choose between these two as I most of my gaming is done on my purpose built gaming rig at home but as I travel a lot and am away from home up to half the year I'd like something decent to play games on. Matte screen is a absolute necessity, 1600x900 adequate. Dirt 2/Race Driver Grid and the latest FIFA/Pro Evolution are my mainstays of everyday gaming.

    I prefer to have it at the front for when I'm using my headphones :)
