Having finally decided on a netbook model I was sorely disappointed to find out that there are two versions floating around. One version has the Intel Atom N270 processor and the other has the Intel Atom N280 processor with the N280 costing $50-$60 more. Not being very technically proficient with processors, I am struggling to find the differences between the two. The N280 appears to come with a better camera and slightly longer battery life. Are there other differences between the two? If there are, what uses would make the N280 worth the extra money?
