can somebody help?

hesitating between Dell Inspiron 8600c with the Pentium® M Processor 735
( 1.70
GHz)
or the dell 9100 xps with the Pentium® 4 Processor (3.40 GHz)


Is there a great difference in speed and general possibilities between these
two models?


would like to use the laptop as a desktop replacement and also to take it
with us while travelling

I know that the 9100 is heavier and has a shorter batterylife.

Is the M processor as fast as the pentium 4?


can somebody help?

so, the M processor is the right choice for me? (No gamer)

Thx for the info,
