    Sorry for repeating the topic but I thought I was clear on the difference and now I'm not. If I were to compare a sz140 with a 2.16GHz processor vs a SZ90 with a 2.16ghz processor, if each had the same hard drive do they both get the same battery life with the standar battery?

    I read in a post that got me thinking that the longer battery life was due to the extended battery. I'd like to use the standard battery. Is what is the advantage of the SZ90 vs the sz140 if they both have the same processor, memory and hard drive?

    Thanks for help clearing up my confusion.

    The Premium has LED backlighting which probably gives it a slightly longer battery life.

    Has anyone gotten a chance to compare the standard SZ screen with the premium - i'm guessing it is a tiny bit thinner but not sure how the quality comparison is.
