16/08/2007 N: I'm trying to decide between this computer Acer TravelMate 5720G-302G16 LX.TK30X.033 and the Acer Aspire 5633WLMi - LX.AY30X.049. I want a computer for general home use - internet, Excel etc, and lots of movie and music usage (probably not gaming though). Both computers have really good features and the 5633 has a better camera but I was wondering how much faster the TravelMate will be? Are both really good for what I plan to use it for, or will the 5633 be too slow with the lower chip speed and RAM memory speed? Just trying to work out if it's worth the extra cost - another £50 plus no package deal for case and mouse so another £15 = £65. Also wondering if the media card is 512MB will it only use this capacity when I'm watching movies, or will it use up heaps of RAM all the time. Thanks!
Easycom: The Aspire would be fine for what you are wanting to do though the Travel Mate would be significantly quicker in use.
