They look very similar to me, the second one has 40GB more disk space but the first one has an extra month of norton. Which one is more expensive? It depends how much you are willing to spend and how good a laptop you need.
If you have more money, buy VGN-CR21.
This is a simple question…
The second one has a faster processor (albeit not noticable) and larger harddrive.
No issue with Norton. AVG is available for free and works well.
Either would be good for web surfing, watching videos and normal use. If you were going to do video editing or graphic design you would want a better video card.
