sandybridge or not?

Trying to decide between two HP laptops. One has the new i3-2310 sandybridge processer at 2.1 or the older i3-380 at 2.53. All the other components are the same and price is equal. Which way should I go?

Sandy Bridge of course. It should have better battery life (all else being equal) and better integrated graphics by around 2x the 3D performance.

That's what I thought, I wasn't sure if the speed difference between 2.1 and 2.5 made that much of a difference.
