I am need of a laptop to do most things BUT play games. This includes large spreadsheet work, emails, browsing, databases etc. I will have to carry this laptop on the train with me 3/4 days a week but will be working with it mostly on a desk.
Out of the following two otpions, which would you choose? Both are the same price with similar battery life and branding:
Option 1
--------
Core 2 Duo T5600 1.83GHz
1GB 533MHz DDR2 Single Channel
80GB 5400rpm HDD
12.1" WXGA (1280x800)
Intel GMA950
30cmx21cmx3.7cm, 1.85kg
Option 2
--------
Core 2 Duo T7200 2.0GHz
1GB 667MHz DDR2 Dual Channel
120GB 5400rpm HDD
14.1" Glossy WSXGA (1440x900)
Intel GMA950
33cmx24cmx3.9cm, 2.6kg
Clearly the choice here is the portability of the lighter unit vs. the features of the clunkier one. Has anyone faced the same choice before? Regretted a choice? Any opinions welcome pls!
