Help Alex buy a laptop part 2. Processor differences? T2250, T5200 and T5500?

1GB RAM is enough for everyday stuff. I've used 1GB for the last four years and it's been fine. Only now am I speccing 2GB. If it's a contest between faster CPU and more RAM for similar price, I'd get the faster CPU, every time. So long as the RAM is upgradeable (some of the thin & light laptops aren't), then it's an easy choice.

Discrete graphics is worth it if you game a lot. 9cell battery is worth it if you travel a lot and want extra battery life.

The rest is up to you.
