Well you should be looking at the video card that are in those laptops the I3 is a faster processor. If you plan on doing some gameing on the laptop you should see what video cards they come with.

I ask again, what are your intended uses/ what do you expect to be able to do with it?

For most things, I would recommend the t6600 with the ram. But for all I know, power could be an issue, where the i3 would be better. The i3 is a slightly faster processor also.

I would go with the ASUS laptop and maybe upgrade the ram to 4 gigs yourself it will be the better laptop.

i would like to have it for daily work as typing, photoshop, corel and a little bit of gaming. sorry for my bad english.

My advice is as SAAIELLO, take the i3 and upgrade the ram. But if you don't feel comfortable with that, you will benefit more from the additional ram. The t6600 is worse but comes close enough to the i3.
