Anyone know the difference beetween Mini 10 and Mini 10v?

I actually ordered the Mini 10V then switched it to the Mini 10  because the sales rep told me the processor was faster on the 10V, but I was surfing the web this morning and now I am totaly confused.

Does anyone know which is better?  Both machines are for the same audience/purpose, it seems.  What could be the difference  between them?  What is the impact of having an N270 processor vs. a Z530? 

Any help would really be appreciated!

Looking at the listing, the V model is the "cheaper" model, comes with a smaller hard drive and a battery that has less running time.   It looks like you are better off with the 10 as it has better overall specs.

Thanks to both of you for your replies.  I just found out that my order, put in on 6/13, is now supposed to arrive on July 9th.  I am thinking of maybe ordering the Asus -- my niece has the 7" and it is a nice little machine.

If I could bend your ear one more time -- Question about the Asus 10", if you know about it -- is it as durable as the Dells?  I ordered the Dell 1545 for my husband, and wanted a small mini computer for me to do my home-related stuff on.  It will get moved around from bed to kitchen to living room to coffee shop, etc.  I just want to make sure it is as durable as the Dells.  My current Dell home laptop is about six years old and has performed pretty well until recently.  I want something that will do the same again.

Thanks in advance.

I think I'm going to go with the ASUS (sorry to say that on this forum!) -- the n270 processor and 7hr battery life.  I really hope it's fast enough for my web needs, but I guess I'll find out.  The newegg website was helpful, and Consumer Reports actually rates it higher than the mini 10.  We'll still keep the Dell 1545 for my husband -- he doesn't really want a mini. 

Thanks again for your help!

Specs are better on current 10v machines.
