Hi guys,
I have an opportunity to buy either an Acer extensa 5210-300508, or an Acer extensa 4214wxmi at roughly the same price, and not being expert, could do with some help. Apart from the different size screens,I was hoping someone could advise me which is the the more advanced model, and thus the better buy.I have icluded model specs below. I realise they are a bit low on ram but I can address this later. Both models come with Windows Vista home basic.
Thanks in advance.
