    Hi,

    I'm about to buy a laptop and I have to choose between Intel 5100AGN Wireless or, for 15€ more, Intel 5300AGN Wireless.

    What's the difference between both, and is it worth to get the more expensive one?

    Thanks!

    Go with the 5300. The 5100 has had a lot of trouble with dropped signals, etc, etc.
