Thread Starter 
I am torn between these two models:

ASUS K61IC-X4:

Intel Core2 Duo Processor P7450 for versatile productivity
Extra bright 16-inch HD Color Shine LED-backlit widescreen (16:9)
ASUS Discrete Graphics Engine (NVidia GeForce GT220M)
ASUS Super Hybrid Engine for extended battery life1
4GB of DDR2 system memory
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit installed
320GB, 5,400rpm hard drive
Built-in 802.11n wireless connectivity
Integrated 1.3 megapixel webcam
Numeric Keyboard
ASUS IceCool Technology
ASUS 360: 1 year global warranty and ASUS ADW: 1 year accidental damage warranty*

ASUS UL50VT:

- Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 ULV (1.3GHz, 800MHz FSB, 3MB L2)
- 512MB GDDR3 NVIDIA GeForce G210M (Dedicated) with Switchable Graphics
- 15.6" HD LED (1366 x 768) Display with Color-Shine technology
- 2GB DDR3 1066MHz RAM (Max 4GB)
- 500GB (5400RPM) SATA HDD

- 2.3kg
- ASUS Express Gate (8-sec Boot time)
- Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
- 2-Year ASUS warranty

Which one should I buy? I am going to use it for internet, music, watching HD movies, etc. Not really for gaming. So I want a higher resolution screen and definitely above average speakers than other laptops. What do you think guys?

Other models that you will recommend will be a big help also...thanks!

I have real trouble comparing standard voltage and ULV CPU systems. What is your budget?

He's not asking the price of those systems. The question is how much are you willing to spend on a computer?

Those are both good notebooks. The UL50 offers very good battery life/mobility the K61 offers greater performance. That makes usage and your opinion important for what is best for you. I cannot say one is better than the other overall as they are designed for different usage patterns.

Resolution same 1366x768. Speakers? Most have very bad speakers I think these are no different. Headphones or external are the only real option for music or even movies.
