Those are some big differences
Ahhh...that explains it. You've been shopping for outdated technology. I meant SMART shopping.

Where'd you get that info from BTW? "Little" things like retailers and brand names are very critical for comparative purposes. And you left out most of the important specs. And..um...a 2.8 MEGA hertz chip? really?

And there will always be retailers willing and able to take advantage of insufficiently educated buyers.......and smart shoppers will find the truth for themselves anyway via a little bit of research. Lastly...even if there WERE merit to the above....one exception does not disprove the rule.

Gimme a break...you keep spouting off that the price point is the same
Its not
Anyone who checks prices can see that
Those were just the 1st 2 I picked to show the TOTALLY different perfomance

Show me a WIN7 quad core Q8300 laptop 6g memory, 750g hd for $535

--2 threads merged...since you seem intent on continuing an older argument
