Advanced computers can (additionally to the normal(grey/gray) computer draw text and background in color and receive mouse_click and mouse_drag events. Thats it, or did I forget something?

The only other real difference is that, since 1.6, advanced systems boot up using multishell (which makes it a lot easier to run multiple scripts at the same time). Regular computers don't, because multishell requires mouse input capabilities in order to switch between tabs.

The in-built "redirection"-game script is also only available to advanced systems, as it requires colour.

Another change with 1.6 was the introduction of fuel limits for turtles - 20,000 units for regular turtles and 100,000 for advanced.
