    I was just wondering what the real difference (if any) was between these two notebooks. I know that the C190 has bluetooth technology, but other than that I can't find any difference -- I mean, they're even the sam price :p!

    Thanks

    I'm sorry, but how does this answer my question?

    Thanks

    Ha, in the generosity of my spirit, it slipped my mind to direct you properly.
    Although, you should have also made a more conscious effort to explore what I had offered you.

    Model specifications, dear. Look at those. And compare them?

    Intellegisne?

    Model specs are what I had been looking at and they appear to be identical (minus bluetooth technology in the C190, http://www.advizia.com/v41/PDF/Comparison5.pdf?mcs=336), which is why I directed the question at people who may have experience with the two notebooks. And besides, the link you gave me provided a whole lot of "There are no specs currently available for this model" for the C190 :).

    So, without comparing specs, does anyone know what led sony to produce these two notebooks :(?

    Looking at the data sheet massiveattack posted, it looks like the difference is in the processor speed, installed ram, and availibility of bluetooth. The 150 has a slower processor (1.66 vs 2ghz), more installed ram (2gb vs 512), and no bluetooth. This would probably explain why the prices are similar.

    Oh, my apologies, then.
    If I were you, I would purchase the C190,
    for a faster processor and bluetooth capabilities
    are surely superior to a little extra RAM
    which can be purchased cheaply at online vendors.
