Don't forget the increased battery life as well.
If you're going to buy a higher-end machine like this, and battery life
is a concern, remember to buy one with _integrated_ graphics, not the
external graphics adapter. If you need the higher-speed graphics, you
can get external video cards now with a USB, DVI or Express connector.
The roughly 2-hour difference in battery life from integrated vs.
dedicated can really swing your choice, if you know you'll need the
battery distance in your specific use of the machine.
