I am going to buy a new laptop and have narrowed it down to these 2. Which is best? They are both roughly the same price.
The laptop below but with 1gig of ram instead of 2 gig

Or this Acer

Which is best and will give me the most flexibility in terms of power, sockets such as USB.
Does the Dell have the dual layer DVD -rw ?
I just want another opinion taking all factors into account. I am going cross eyed here looking at laptops. The Acer is the most I can afford.
I have a new Desktop and a brand new Dell Inspiron 9400 17inch that is my main second machine. There is n't room for 2 Desktops in my house as its a cottage so has small rooms and I need to work downstairs with the dogs. However the Dell is rather too large to go and out and about with but makes a brilliant second main flexible computer for the house. Hence why I need a second machine as I work on a Consultancy basis.
Have I missed something neither laptop has Bluetooth?
Opinions would be great. It getting rather mind blowing now.
