Not necessarily. Second has smaller battery. Get the second only if you can get a bigger battery.

Id go for the T41p but check see if you can get a bigger battery though I still think even wit hthe smaller battery it would be better. Depending on if you need REALLY LONG battery life or just decent. Either system will be nice.

Thanks. But what about the difference in video card? Not only does the T40 has twice the memory, isn't the FireGL superior to the Radeon? I'm not a graphic designer but I do use AutoCAD occasionally.
