I am a relative newbie - which one would you choose? The first laptop listed is around $121 (£80) more than the 2nd one.
Is the extra money worth the bigger screen, better processor, better graphics card etc,.
Also I use windows XP now and the higher specced laptop comes with vista while the lower specced laptop comes with Windows 7.
Want to use the laptop for a bit of everything - gaming, movies etc - what would be your choice?
