    Hi,

    I have already asked this in another thread, but I am still really confused.

    I can either buy a laptop for £710 without Draft_N (without gigabit as well.)
    Or I can pay £845 for Draft_N (still no gigabit.)

    The £845 does come with P8400 though and the £710 with T8100.

    But, is it worth it for Draft_N? What are the real benefits for it, e.g does it give better network coverage.

    Thanks for any help

    Can you give the full specs for both laptops?

    A gigabit is good for a direct connection to another computer for moving large files. The N is only wire less and in real life is about 150megabod (not 300).

    The gigabit is only really usefull when you are hardwired and the N is much better for wireless.
