Which is in your opinion the better purchase?

3.6Kg is still very light mate, my old Vaio was a hefty 5.5Kgs!!!!

As I advised last night, don\'t go for the centrino (which is basically a fancy name for a 90nm Celeron D), the A64 is the much faster system....

As I advised you yesterday aswell, even though it says \'dedicated\' graphics memory, what they actually means that the graphics chip keeps 64Mb of the Main RAM for its own exclusive use, so there both are equal.

Going on processor alone (otherwise I count them equal including weight), you will find you dont use it for that long (2.5hrs) on battery unless you are on a flight or on a long journey. So I\'d say go for the Aspire!

Or, I advise you to wait to see if they release an AMD Sempron laptop (what I have at the moment), the processers are better, faster, and more powerful than the Centrino/Celeron range, and are better value for money than the AMD Athlons
