I can't say much about comparing the wireless (do they use the same antenna? that might be more important than the wifi chipset). But personally, I would try to hold off on buying laptops right now. The Intel "Merom" chips are supposed to release next month. I haven't heard as much about those as the desktop Core 2 Duo chips coming out next week, but I think they are supposed to be 20% better performance for similar prices. And the power consumption is less, so batteries should last longer. Even if you don't get the new chip, I would think prices should drop on the current models.
