    why is A170 and A190 same price?
    a190 got TV + DVD burner..
    what does the A170 got to comp compensate TV + DVD burner?
    the good thing A170 got is XP pro..but that does not compensate the TV + DVD Burner..

    Intel Pentium M - 1.7 GHz - 80 GB Hard Drive -512 MB RAM

    A170 for 2100$
    and
    A190 for 2099$

    if u google after the lowest price u will find both at the same..
    plz give me advice, im going to order A 170 or 190 when i know witch one is better..

    another question
    can i change the HD and RAM when i buy?
    coz HD got only 4200RPM and RAM is cheaper at crucial.com

    RAM is fairly easy to change(up to 2GB on the A190)... HDD is a little more complicated. Can't explain the prices being as they are, I just went for the A190. [ ;)]
