^^ IMHO i don't feel so.. Especially for the reason that it is a 4 cell battery.. The 80GB version which is 1K less with 6 cell and 7hrs battery life with 1.3Megapixel cam is definitely a better vfm.. Remember buying a 6 cell battery would cost you 4K. That makes the 160GB 3K more just for an 80GB extra HDD.
