title pretty much covers it, I'm not sure which one to buy, been switch back and forth a number times. With weight aside is there one I should pick over the other, if both systems were configured to price the same in terms of what CPU is under the hood. Performance-wise which one has the edge? TIA!

are you going to be traveling/carrying this alot or a desktop replacement? that's pretty much the big issue. also, do you want a 14.1" screen or a 15" screen. weight is a huge decision between these 2 laptops.

600m if weight is a concern. Desktop replacement would be hands down the 5150.

I just returned my 5100. When I start looking again I have decided to go for portability.

I have a 5100 and like it. But I agree, if you want more portability, go for the 600m. More money but less weight and better battery life. 5150 can be a better desktop replacement if that is what you are looking for.
