I'm speccing up a few laptops for work and the contenders are a Dell Vostro 1000 and a Lenovo N200. The budget is about £300-350 ex VAT each. Once the operating system and battery (Win XP Pro and 9 Cell Li-Ion) are specced up the Dell comes in £40 cheaper than the Lenovo but it has a Sempron 3600+ CPU and 60Gb HDD vs the 1.7Ghz Core Duo and 120GB HDD in the Lenovo. Both have 1GB RAM, XP Pro, wireless LAN, 15.4" display and 4 USB ports, but the Lenovo has a 5in1 card reader and fingerprint scanner too.
In everyday performance is there anything between the two? They will both be used in the field so battery life is important.
Any other units I should consider?
