This is similiar to Recommend me a good college laptop, except mine isn't just for college, and I've partially decided. I just want some outside opinion before I make my final decision.

Basically, I've compared prices and checked the "major" companies (HP, Dell, Alienware, etc.). Due to pricing and customizability, I've narrowed it down to Dell Inspiron. The problem is I'm not sure if I want the 600m or the 6000.

I know basically what I want, with a few things not changing regardless of which I choose:
512 MB RAm
60 GB HD
wireless (of some sort, don't care too much which one), LAN, 56k modem
CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drive
XP pro

basically the only thing that I have to decide on is the processor and the screen size. If I go with the 600m, I get a smaller screen but a faster processor (Pentium M 725, 1.6GHz). But if I go with the 6000, I get a larger screen, but a slightly slower processor (Celeron 350, 1.3 GHz).

I'm thinking the 6000, but I'm curious as to what you think.
