The first one's got a faster disk.

The other difference I can see is that the 14" one is lighter and with a better battery. 1.74 kg would be too heavy for me but that's personal preference.

They have the same battery: "3-cell, 41 Wh Li-ion" The difference in how long they run is going to be down to the difference between powering a 14" screen rather than a 15" one, The weight difference between the two is less than the weight of a can of Coke. As you say, that is a personal thing, though I doubt anyone who would happily carry a 1.43kg laptop would complain about a 1.74kg being too heavy.

I would say that they are both pretty evenly matched. Mostly screen size being the decider and while side-by-side a 15.3" screen looks a lot bigger than 14", in use it doesn't make too much of a difference so I'd go by price :money:

...which is pretty much what I meant.

I have used laptops in both 'categories' and I can tell you that you do feel the difference. It's not just carrying, but also using it on a daily basis.
