Have a friend who is buying a laptop for university schooling.
Which one of these is better for processor.
Both models say 5.5 hours of battery time.

Sony Vaio, Model #s:

·         VGNNW130D      4 GB Ram; 320 GB Hard Drive;  2.1 GHz;  Intel Core 2 Duo T6500  $949.00


·         VGNNW11DT     4 GB Ram; 320 GB Hard Drive;  2.1GHz;  Intel Centrino Pentium Duo T4200 $899.

They're both 45nm Core 2 Duos, the T6500 has 3 MB L2 cache, the T4200 1 MB L2 cache, and TDP is the same. I would guess that the T6500 performs a bit better (by 1-5% percent or so), but it's up to you if it's worth the extra 50 dollar.
