Samsung Q30 or Fujitsu Lifebook

[Jenny]

Ok, I've gone to the computer mall, and these are the two ultraportable notebooks that I'm really interested in...what do you think, how do they compare, and are they competetively priced? PS. all these specs are in chinese, I've translated them...I hope it makes sense!

All the same as above

Other questions:

Is there a big difference between Windows XP Home and Professional?

40GB/60GB/80GB???? I guess I should ask if it's possible to upgrade the SAMSUNG, since 40GB is too low, right? Makes a diifererence to the speed right?

Thanks so so so much, you guys have been really helpful!

how are these laptops so expensive? they are not that good. you are getting ripped off. i would just go with the cheapest one if possible because they are all basically the same and very expensive.

Professional has a better network capability than xp home.

the hard drives are all the same speed unless otherwise noted. the size of the harddrive depends on what you plan to do with the laptop.
