Laptop Question - Which is better?

[ep2002]

Ok, I need to get a laptop & now I've got each person telling me theirs is the better laptop & I'm getting confused.

Pls. let me know your thoughts, but only if you know specifically that one unit is better than the other.

Thanks :) Michelle

First one is: (I got him down to $270, then he said $240 w/out the wireless card, but I need that in there)

I'd go with the first one just because it has more RAM and the specs are nearly identical, both are good name brands.

Thanks, but I wasn't asking about the specs, I was asking which is the better unit. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

The 2nd guy said he'd put another 100+ MB of RAM in there.
