Why is anything ever cheaper than anything else?

    Perhaps one is more expandable/upgradeable than the other

    Perhaps one has more/bigger "goodies" than the other

    Maybe one is built better than the other

    Or even one is just overpriced/underpriced (to gain market share).

Check the specifications of each thoroughly, you'll find the answer (how
big is HD/how fast is CD/how much onboard RAM/what monitors are
supported/does it have ethernet built in/does it have a geoport/what's
missing/what's important...?)
