Heres the deal i have both and which ever i decide not to keep goes to the momz, Keep in mind that both have upgrades over stock, the A135 has had it's Celeron M swapped for a Core2Duo, and both have had Ram added

type---------- A135-S7403-----A215-S4747
Processor--- T7200-------------TL-56
Processor--- 2.0Ghz------------1.8Ghz
Ram---------- 2GB (2x1GB)-----3GB (1GB + 2GB)
Ram speed- PC5300------------PC5300
Graphics---- GMA 950-----------Radeon x1200
Hard Drive-- 80GB---------------200GB
HD RPM------ 5400RPM---------4200RPM

side note: the A215 has a built in 1.3Mpx web cam...

Any other questions feel free to ask but whatever specs i didn't list both laptops are identical

EDIT:
Both Laptops are running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

Both Laptops will have to run some HD movies but they will mostly be used for Internet and Word Processing
the one i keep i may play a couple light games while on the go but mine will have to run AutoCAD and Revit (which is a processor and memory hog)

they both look new as they have both been in Laptop bags whenever they were moved.
both work 100% butthe A215 has a nice shiney top.
i'm just partial to AMD ever since i built my gaming desktop
but my intel (A135) has served me without fault for the last 2.5 years

Cool little charts hadn't seen those before!

Yeah I notcied the T7200 is a bit more powerful than the TL-56 but the AMD machine can also support 4GB of ram and I can eventually upgrade the TL-56 to a TL-66 which is right around the level of the T7200, or even a faster AMD CPU but thats for later.

Yeah the fact that overall performance is near identical i think is making it a hard choice.
I guess i'm just trying to get opinions of why one would choose one over the other.


Thanks for helping this far
