of course no bonus software. I do know I'd use the heck out of elements 8, since I have elements 6 now.

This one has the Core i5 processor that has that turbo boost. There is an i3 that is slower. This doesn't have as much battery time-think it's a 6 cell, but very better than they used to be. Larger screen (my next one will be). Good size hard drive. Speakers may not be as good, it just says stereo. Many nbs have quite a tinny sound. Doesn't have Home & Student.

I wonder on the wireless N - will it downgrade itself to b/g if that's what's needed at your home or wherever you are? That would be important to know.

Over all, it boils down to choices. I've never seen it happen. Why can't they make like items without taking away other features we want??? Why? Whhyyyyyeeee!!!
