[Duo2400] Re: Choice between Duo 2300c and 2400c

[Majid Charania]

I have both a 2300c and a 2400c and if your main concern is portability, I'd
go for the 2300c because its noticeably thinner and smaller.  But overall,
the 2400c is a far better machine for the price you will pay because of G3
upgradeability, high ram ceiling, larger/better screen and PCI bus support
(hence Cardbus and faster CPU performance).  Also, the 2400c includes all
the important ports, whereas the only way to get ports on the 2300c (other
than ADB and a slow modem) is to get a dock (not portable) or an
elusive/rare minidock.

Go for a 2400c, you will not regret it.  The overall system speed makes
surfing the Net over any bandwith noticeably faster than a 2300c, and the
graphics chipset on the 2400c is light-years ahead of that on the 2300c.
