Concentrate on the other specs because the cpu's are very close.
The Arrandale was released in Jan. 2011; the Sandy Bridge was released in Feb. 2011

See comparison here:  http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2375117,00.asp

Sandy Bridge has GPU On-Die, Arrandale is On-Package

I would choose the i5-2410m because I have an i3-2310m
Do both have Windows Home Premium 64-bit?
