The 130 is quite a bit faster in my understanding. I have a 2000
upgrade, a 2100, and a 120b [b has Newton OS 2.0, a has Newton OS 1.3].
I have used a 120a for extensive periods and it was fast enough for me.
What I have noticed is that the 120b is much nicer due to OS 2.0 but it
is a lot slower. The 130 has quite a bit more RAM for both system and
storage and I assume that would be the pickup.
Oh and having a backlite rules.
