idk what is Chipset: Mobile Intel® HM55 Express could someone explain? Thanks asusi

I'd go for the first one.

Processor ;
Cant help you, I have no idea about how the new i3/i5/i7 Series scale compared to the Core 2 Series.

Video Card ;
The Radeon 5xxx is stronger than the GT 220

RAM ;
Logically, the 4G of DDR3 RAM is better than 4G of DDR2 RAM

at a glance the first one by far.

Core i3
The Core i3 was intended to be the new entry-level processor from Intel, following the retirement of the Core 2 brand[16][17].
The first Core i3 processors were launched on January 7, 2010[18].
The first Nehalem based Core i3 was Clarkdale-based, with an integrated GPU and two cores[19]. The same processor will also be available as Core i5 and Pentium, with slightly different configurations.
The Core i3-3xxM processors are based on Arrandale, the mobile version of the Clarkdale desktop processor. They will be similar to the Core i5-4xx series but running at lower clock speeds and without Turbo Boost.[20]
According to some sources, existing Core 2 processors based on Yorkfield, Wolfdale and Penryn may also get rebranded to Core i3[21].

Found my answer,
TL ; DR : Core 2 Duo ends up being better than an i3,but not an i5

Numero uno.

Unless you have 64bit windows your laptop will on use about 3 of the 4gb ram. Anywho id say 1 is better..

Posted: **Thu Feb 25, 2010 2:53 pm**

The 1st sounds better overall but I like the dual cpu of the 2nd though

That doesn't look too good.

That's standard on pretty much all batteries. Most computers that I've noticed usually only have a one year warranty with no warranty for the battery. So this one is actually pretty good.

Really? I had no idea. Guess that's something I'll pay attention to when I go buy a laptop for myself.

It's dual core which is essentially two CPU's in one, but so is the I3.

Today bought 1st choice. Now waiting for delivery. This cost me 1.2k usd (earned myself ofc) so thanks for helping to decide

Posted: **Thu Feb 25, 2010 11:16 pm**

Good choice, #1 is definitely better.

Posted: **Thu Feb 25, 2010 11:37 pm**

uhm i always though this:

i3= 3 CPU
i5= 5 CPU
i7= 7 CPU

btw I would pick the first one.

i3 is dual with hyperthreading and I think so is i5..i7 is quad with hyper. Going off bad memory here.

First one is much, much better. Esp the graphics card..

Saying 2 cpu's means that it has two Core 2 Duo's or two Core i3's. Having more than one core doesn't make it a dual cpu.
