What is the difference between the two models other than the video card. Is there any difference in the speakers and battery life? Turbo boost? Is one black and one is dark brown? Any one ? there is limited information of the models.

To me they seem to be the exact same thing, save for the already mentioned color and GPU differences. Check this out to help make up your mind about which GPU you want:

How much of a difference does ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 512 vram compare to the GT 33M with 1 GB DDR3 VRAM. Even though it seems like the 5470 is a better performed but does the extra ram make a difference?

NVIDIA GeForce 310M + Intel GMA HD 1GB DDR3 VRAM

NVIDIA GeForce GT 335M 1GB DDR3 VRAM
ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5470 512MB dedicated video RAM3

the 5470 vs the GT 335, the GT 335 is hands down far more powerful.

if the 5470 was a 5650 than it would be about even.
of the three you mentioned:

NVIDIA GeForce 310M + Intel GMA HD 1GB DDR3 VRAM

NVIDIA GeForce GT 335M 1GB DDR3 VRAM
ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5470 512MB dedicated video RAM3

Only one with a decent GPU is the GT 335.
