DELL 1525 or 1420

Hi, I am plaaning to buy a laptop which is mostly for programming, watching movies, listening songs, browsing, burning CD's, and rarely to play normal games. After filtering out, I have 2 choises 1525 or 1420. I decided to go with 1525 as it's 15" which will be good to watch movies and its slim also.But in most of the forum they are telling some noise(fan) problem is there in 1525. So the other option for me is 1420 and only things is its little bit more heavy. Other then that i do not find any issue. I am fine with both 15" or 14" screen. Can you please suggest me which one will be a best option to go?

Configured as of now:
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T5450 (1.66GHz/667Mhz FSB/2MB cache
Vista, 2GB RAM, Anti-glare, widescreen 14.1 inch display (1280x800), INTEL X3100 graphics card, 120GB harddisk, 2.0 MP Camera, High Definition Audio 2.0

If you have some suggestion on configuration also, please help me out to go for the right one. Thanks very much in advance.

 

This is a choice of personal preference. Only big difference is screen size.

 

Go to a store and compare the different screen sizes. Other than that there really isn't any difference between the two.

 

1420 offers the 8400M GS. 1525 only comes with IGP.

 

If you plan to lug your computers around, the 1420 is more portable (smaller and lighter even with a 9 cell bat). They have the same screen resolution, and the 1420 even has the option to have 1440x900 resolution which is more than the 1525.

Although the 1525 does has some pretty sweet lid designs, its still a bit big to carry around all day.

 

The 1420 he quoted has the X3100 IGP, not the 8400m GS.
