    My friend's dad is deciding which of these two models he should get. It's for someone that checks their email and writes papers. I know that the 620 has a lot more options available to it, but he is not going to get them. The question is, is the basic 620 really $200 more worth of laptop than the 520? Also, are there any must have upgrades for either of these models?

    Depends, if you are a student and are planning to research and write a paper a 620 is better because it is a widescreen. Also that the 620 comes with a 3-year mail-in warranty where as the 520 comes with a weak 1-year mail-in warranty.
