    Hi all,

    I'm hesitating whether I should get the TX-A2 (with PentiumM 1.3 Ghz) or the new A1-A2. I have following questions which I can't get any answers of

    1) what battery time can you get on TX-A2 and A1? LG refuses to answer this question even if I tell them I'll then assume it's less than their competitors and get an VAIO instead :)

    2) Either way -- surely, A1 with a later Core Duo must have a longer battery life than Pentium-based TX? Any significant differences between A1 and TX-series that is not on the spec sheets?

    3) and also, what is the difference between TX-A2MSV and TX-A2GKV? The specs looks identical to me on LG web site...

    As soon as I get my answers, I'll order one - the question is which?

    Many thanks in advance

    I just ordered an a1. Should be here next week. looks to me much better than the tx with core duo and dedicated graphics.

    Well, you are only half right since they have both same 1.3 GHz frequency - but I'm just guessing Core Duo should be more power efficient than Pentium M ULV on TX

    Actually the TX has dedicated graphics as well on the MSV and GKV models so you're actually wrong there.
