Gazelle vs. Pangolin?

[farruinn]

Yet another question about your laptop line :)

I've spec'd out nearly identical models of the Gazelle and Pangolin laptop and the difference in price is only $11. Here's the breakdown:

1.66GHz Core Duo w/ 667MHz FSB
512 MB RAM
40 GB hard drive
DVD/CD-RW optical drive
802.11a/b/g

Gazelle vs Pangolin
14.1" Screen vs 15.4" Screen
3 USB vs 4 USB
VGA-out vs VGA/S-video out
(no reader) vs card reader

Except for the features in red, these are virtually the same computer. I obviously will go with the Pangolin if I choose System76, but are there any other differences between the two lines?

The battery on the Gazelle Value will last almost an hour longer (depending on config). This is due to the smaller 14.1" screen. The Gazelle Value of course weighs about 1 lbs. less as well. Other than that you've hit the nail on the head. They are very similar.
