    Hey guys, i was just wondering what laptop is better between these two?

    Inspiron 1521:

    AMD Turion™ 64 X2 Dual-Core processor TL-50 (1.6GHz/512KB), English
    Genuine Windows Vista™ Home Premium Edition, English
    Jet Black Color with Matte Finish
    15.4 inch Wide Screen XGA Display with TrueLife™
    NO WEBCAM OPTION
    1GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz, 2 Dimm
    120G 5400RPM SATA HDD
    ATI RADEON® Xpress1270 HyperMemory™
    8X CD/DVD Burner (DVD+/-RW) with double-layer DVD+R write capability


    Vostro 1000

    AMD AthlonTM 64 X2 Dual-Core processor TK-53 (1.7GHz/512KB), English
    Genuine Windows® XP Home Edition, SP2, English
    15.4 inch Wide Screen XGA LCD Display
    1GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHZ, 2 Dimm
    120G 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
    8X DVD+/-RW with double-layer DVD+R write capability, Cyberlink Power DVD
    ATI Radeon® Xpress 1150 256MB HyperMemory™ (integrated)
    Dell Wireless 1390 802.11g Wi-Fi Mini Card
    Integrated Audio


    The 1521 is only 40 bucks more, so i'm wondering if I should buy that? Or is the Vostro 1000 built better than the inspiron 1521 line?

    Thanks!

    i think the inspiron is slightly better because of the faster ram and trulife screen

    why get the 1521 over the 1520 or vostro 1500? even low-end core 2 duos outperform pretty much any amd laptop processor, and the price is around the same. vostro 1500s seem like the best bet if money's a concern
