The Diamond II is a unit which is a sensor pressure board, goto the site Your
moves chess and games advertised on this site and you will see pictures of the
two.

Sapphire II is just a portable chess computer with no board or pieces, but it
can be hooked up to a PC or sensor board

Just depends on your tastes and how you want to use your chess computers for.

Diamond II is more expensive, that is because it is a complete unit with board
and pieces attached to the computer

Best to see the pics on the site I suggested or on the other sites given by
other replies and you we see the difference.

I would go for the Diamond II if I was gong to only use it at home or some place
where I could set up the board, Sahppire II you can take with you and even use a
magnetic board to play when out and about. or connected to sensor board, and
both can connect to a PC
