@Stephen you have any suggestions of places I could try visit? @Muoki that&#39;s a nice comparison sheet, atleast I noted that among all other things, the max memory for an i3 is 8GB and two slots, that is a plus, as we can all attest there is never enough memory in today&#39;s world, we all want as much as we can fit in out machines. Thank Mark too.<br>

&gt;Hallo Skunks<br>
&gt;I am about to spend some money on a laptop, not more than 60k. It has been<br>
&gt;my understanding that Intel core 13 is better in processing than Core 2<br>
&gt;Duo. Today a certain techie wanted to dispel this, saying that the Dell<br>
&gt;Inspiron 1545(Core 2 Duo) would be better than the Dell Inspiron N5040(Core<br>
&gt;i3 2.66GHz with 3MB Cache) which is currently being sold by Safaricom at<br>
&gt;52k.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;I am not much of a developer, I do simple wordpress css and php dev for my<br>
&gt;site and other sites I run. Most of the stuff I do is blogging, reading (I<br>
&gt;can have upto 30 tabs of browser open) and ofcourse simple image editing<br>
&gt;for use on the blogs.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;Would this be a good buy?<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;--<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;Regards,<br>
