Hi....i need help to decide between these two laptops. Which one do you think more valuable for the money/better ?

 

Laptop 1 : Lenovo 3000 N100
Intel Core Duo T2450 2 GHz 533MHz Cache 2MB
1GB RAM DDR2 PC-5300 extensible to 2GB
Nvidia G72MV 128MB
Card Reader 4 in 1
Price 539.95 €

 

Laptop 2 : Lenovo 3000 N200
Intel Core Duo T2310 1.46GHz 533MHz Cache 1MB
2GB RAM DDR2 PC-5300 extensible to 4GB
Nvidia GeForce Go 7300 256Mb
Card Reader 5 in 1
Price 579.9 €

 

Rest specs are the same :
120GB HDD SATA 5400 Rpm
4X USB ports
1x RJ45
1x RJ11
1x VGA
1x S-Video
1x Firewire
1x Mic
1x Line out
Wi-Fi a/b/g
Bluetooth
6 cell Battery
Fingerprint reader
15.4" Display 1280x800
DVDRW dual
Vista Home Premium

 

I'm trying to find the info about Nvidia G72MV but no success or maybe i miss it on google, btw i found on wikipedia the list of Nvidia gpu that G72 is Geforce Go 7300. Just to make sure, anybody know or has more info about this GPU ?
I'm thinking on buying the laptop 1 then upgrade/buy another stick of RAM after, do you think it's a good move ?
I will use the laptop for web design, photoshop and a little video editing, no intention on intensive games.

 

I appreciate any opinions. Thanks.

Looks like it is the same laptop only difference being in ram and cpu and video ram. I would go with the one on top and put 2GB memory in it. But it probaly uses 2 sticks of 512MB ram not one 1GB stick so You will need to buy 2 1GB sticks. On a 7300 video card 256MB of memory will not make any noticable difference compared to 128 MB on the same card. Processor is better o the top one. And there is no point to going to 4GB in second. If You go with a top one and add 2GB RAM fo 40 euros You will have better laptop for the same price except for video ram amount which on a low end video card like 7300 will not make any difference

Apparently the RAM is only 1 stick of 1GB. So i think later on i can buy another 1GB RAM.
I received answer from Nvidia, they explained that G72MV is Geforce go 7300/7200.
So, i think i'll take the laptop 1. Thanks for your reply.
