We recently got laptops and it was quite a dilemma since most of the units had similar prices. Good thing my brother was around to point out the differences among all the units. Most of the differed in memory and speed. If it wasn't for him, I would chosen the fancy looking one with poor features. Apparently, those fancy looking units have lower memory and speed as opposed to the slightly larger but just as cute units. Now I've learned that the laptop memory is more important than color and size.
