Hi Guys, I need help deciding between the above 2 laptops. Here are the specs:

E220s - i7 2617M (1.5Ghz), 4GB DDR3, 320GB HDD, Intel HD 3000, 12.5" @ 849$
U36SD - i5 2410M (2.3Ghz), 4GB DDR3, 640GB HDD, GT 520, 14" @ 999$

I like the E220s for its portability and weight but am I losing a lot in terms of processing power and graphics against U36SD? I'm going to need to run OSX using VMware for iOS app development, other than that i will be using it to watch HD videos, web surfing, word processing and maybe some gaming (COD, NFS) in the future. Thanks.
