500m vs. 600m

[Bloodstein]

Hi,

I'd like to know how Dell's 500m differs from 600m. Reading the posts in here, it seems like most ppl are in agreeance that 600m is a pretty good lappy when considering the price. We just got 500m laumnched in New Zealand. I don't know if it's a model behind 600m or a model ahead of it but can someone please tell me how these differ?

Cuz if 500m is basically 600m, I might go for it..

500m is not available here in the States yet.

It looks like your 500m IS our 600m. Looks exactly the same in every respect.

Dell was supposed to release a 500m here in May that is cheaper than the 600m.

Noooo! 500m is NOT 600m:

Integrated Intel® Extreme Graphics Up to 64MB shared2 memory

This is a very crucial difference. The 600m has a discrete graphics card, not the integrated Intel "Extreme" (ie sucks) graphics.

Oh yea, that's a huge difference. Don't go with that intel integrated crap unless you really don't care much about gaming.

Whoa....I didn't notice that at all.....

The 500m is 'bout nz$500-700 cheaper than the similar-spec (almost) toshibas and acer i wuz looking at....which is why i thought it wuz a good buy. Didn't look in the graphics dept though. Now, it's all almost even again....sheesh...

My bad. Didn't look over the specs carefully enough. That IS a huge difference.
