The 710m is probably more expensive simply because its smaller and thus its parts are smaller and yet the same power. You get the picture for that.
As for a speed increase with dual core, only if applications are optimized for it. As of now, few are, so you won't really notice the speed increase much. It's good future proofing, but its still not entirely necessary yet. As for better deal, depends. The 710m is more expensive but smaller, whereas the M140 is slightly larger and cheaper. I'd go with the M140 because I just can't work for extended periods of time on a 12 inch screen. Whatever fits your needs though. Jam it back in, in the dark. |

I wouldn't get the E1705. It's 17" screen makes it too large to be partially portable. I got a similar computer, its 15" although lives in the same category of desktop replacements, and trust me, never again am I going that route.
I'd recommend the 14", decent screen size, great portability, and tolerable battery life. I assume you are a college student trying to get this, or even if you're in business, mobility is a great thing. If you need gaming, I'd say make this computer a cheaper mobile one and buy a souped up desktop. Gets you the best of both worlds. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
