    I have a GRT290Z and am considering replacing it with the new A190. I am concerned about going from the 3.06 P4 to 1.7 Pentium M. I have a couple of questions if anyone can help me.

    1)I use a lot of Video editing apps as well as the usual business software and of course the odd game here and there. Will I see a big difference with the 1.7 Pentium M over the 3.06 P4?

    2)I love the Xbrite screen on my GRT but have seen a lot of negative comments regarding the A190's screen, most of which seem to be aimed at it's reflective nature, does it have a different type of screen or does it use the same coatings as the GRT XBrite?

    Thanks for any comments regarding this.
