"My lack of understanding..."

I always thought the bigger a number is, the better the model of whatever it is. When I go to DELL's website and hover over the notebooks and then "Inspiron" it gives me a list of numbers, representing models of laptops. I would have thought that 9200 would be the best and indeed it costs the most. But it's specs don't seem to be the best. It has half the processor speed and no HT technology which the "lesser" models have.

So can some computer person tell me why the prices differ, yet the specs are worse? Thanks.

Why is it a good thing to have it? Less juice used up?

Ah. Ok.

I wasn't, it was just generally that some other specs weren't in relation.

The 9200 has a Centrino M processor which is designed for notebook use, can't recall the details though

Also a contributing factor to it's price is its 17" screen.

Theres a few other details which contribute to it etc.

Don't nessacerily think the bigger the Mhz = The better.
