I would get the intel if your not planning on gaming or wht not - its lighter on the batteries.

However for a bit more performce the x300 is a better buy.

getting the intel 900 will give you longer battery life by about 30min-1hour(from what i have seen) so your laptop will be a more mobile machine.

the intel 900 is not that bad for gaming. My friend had a dell insp6000 and he played prince of persia on it without lag. but if you want the extra "umf" in gaming get the x300

Keep in mind tho - Intel Extreme Graphics 2 and intel 900 gma arent the same.
