I wouldn't recommend either. I just picked up my first laptop for $899 that seems more feature-loaded than either one of these:
Mobile AMD 64 3000+, Mobility Radeon 9600, 60 GB 4200 RPM HDD, 256 MB RAM (only shortcoming, but is expandable), 15.4 inch WXGA display, integrated WLAN 811g adapter, etc...
The thing works awesome, and while battery life is just a tad on the short side at about 2.5 hours, and it does get a bit warm, I don't think you can beat the performance for that price. It's a Gateway, BTW, which have gotten fairly good service scores for notebooks, and I got it from CompUSA last week.
In any case, I would strongly argue against Celerons.
