I'm looking to purchase a S380 and wanted feedback regarding the CPU Speed. I'm debating on getting the 1.8ghz, 2.0ghz & 2.13ghz. Is there much of a difference between each level? I thought I read somewhere it's a bit more significant then the P4 versions.

Thanks,

TMS-
Again it depends on what you are going to do with your notebook but my reccomendation is that you go with the 1.8. Sony wants too much money for the 2.0 and above (I got the 2.0 just becasue I had money for it but it will make almost ZERO real world difference) . And thats not just Sony its the processor itself. If you are doing high math calcualtions of VERY involved spreadsheets, yes the minimal procesor boost will help. Other than that- nada- save you money and get the 1 gig RAM instead!.
