it's not really a question
decide which one suits you ... and that's the best
forget about fastest - there is a noticeable difference between a 486 and a dual core
the difference between a 486 3.0Mhx and a 3.6Mhz processor is only on paper - the actual numbers are so small.
the machines are reasonably equally matched - I might like the idea of the eee (I know ethel does!)
others here may or may not agree .... and the arguments are all valid
at the end of the day ... if the keyboard feels odd or the colour isn't quite vivid enough or the speaker is too squeeky - it's not the machine for you.
if both machines will do the job ... go for the colour you like best
