Hey ... i'm a law student and i'm upgrading my notebook from an Inspiron 700m. I've had this laptop for about a year now and i've noticed that i can upgrade to a new notebook for about $100-$200. Considering the new processors (core duo as opposed to Pentium M), the new warranty, etc., i've decided its worth it.
I just need help deciding between two notebooks. I'm deciding between getting an Inspiron E1405 or Inspiron 640m notebook. One is through home and home office (E1405) and the other is through small business (640m).
The specs on both are pretty much identical and have the standard features, including Core Duo T2050, 60G HD, DVD-RW, wireless capabilities, 14.1" ultrasharp screen, 6-cell battery, etc.
So, since the specs on both are identical, and both are inspiron, and both are the same price, which one should I buy? Any technical advice and non-technical advice (like customer reviews) would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

They are the same system, just different naming conventions... By the way, are you happy with your 700m? I think since you're not into gaming & basically just use your laptop for email, internet & simple word processing, I'll suggest that you wait for just a little while longer & get a newer laptop with the Santa Rosa platform & also MS Vista in a few months time... This is just my humble opinion.
