Advise on new laptop. Please look.

Im needing a laptop for my next semester in school(programming classes, mostly VB.NET). No gaming for me(have my xbox 360 for that ). The only program I will be running, other than the basic's(surfing, word processing, email) will be VB.NET.

I see Dell has the B120 for with the Celeron M 1.4Ghz, and the B130 with the Pentium M 1.7Ghz. Everything else is the same(512 MB DDR SDRAM, 40 gig HD, Wireless card and intel acclerator 900 graphics card).

I need advise one which one would be the best for what im going to be using it for. BTW Dell has a 100$ rebate on the Celeron M B120 right now, so it would be $200 price difference in the two models.(549$ including tax and shipping for the Celeron M and 749$ including tax and shipping for the Pentium M)

Is that upgrade really worth 200$?

Any advise would greatly be appreciated. Im going to be ordering real soon, tommororw probably; one of those laptops.

Thanks
Derek
