They look identical - apart from the HD size, unless I've missed something. If you want the larger drive, go for the latter.

Both will be find for what you want to use them for.

You might be able to upgrade the RAM cheaper, by doing it yourself and ordering the memory from Crucial.

hubby has said to stick to the first choice upgraded to the 2gb ram - but, am wondering as i dont know how to do this myself do they actually upgrade it for you ...if not - should i just buy it at the 1gb and buy a memory stick and do it that way...?

thanks isofa

Before you buy it and go planning memory upgrades I'd check how many memory slots the laptop has and how many are in use/are free as it may work out pricier to buy it with the plan of upgrading, find out there's no free slots and have to buy even more memory.
