Well, title kind of explains it. I'm purchasing a laptop for our church's use. It'll mainly be used for documents (Pastor's computer while at the church), and then projecting PPTs and movies with a projector that has yet to be purchased.
We have a rough budget of $750 (that's the grant funding we got) but can cover probably an extra $100 if need be.
I'm having trouble figuring out why there's such a vast price difference between these two HP models (listed below in screen shots) and was wondering if you see something I don't. All I see is the hard drive. In fact, if I dropped the extra 12 cell battery on the already cheaper model, it'd be even cheaper! All I see as a major difference is the hard drive size, and that's not enough to justify the difference. It'd be nice if the least expensive one is fine, then I can get a year or two of accidental damage protection.

Also, will the Core i3 be proficient for these tasks? I have no experience with the "i" series, let alone the mobile versions. I think I can get an i5 for an extra $100. But if we don't need it, I don't need it to get it.
Thanks!
