Hi Mark,<br><br>i5 has Turboboost i3 doesnt: <a href="http://freepress.intel.com/community/news/blog/2010/11/30/what-is-turbo-boost" target="_blank">http://freepress.intel.com/community/news/blog/2010/11/30/what-is-turbo-boost</a><br>



Core 2 duo is old and inferior.<br>
<br> Look at Hard Drive speed (RPM) , RAM Speed (Mhz) and Bus Speed as well<br>All these work together. The lower you go on price -while focusing on processor only- the higher the chances that the manufacturer is compromising these. <br>




Benchmark with high end specs like:  <a href="http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-HP-EliteBook-8460p-Notebook.57322.0.html" target="_blank">http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-HP-EliteBook-8460p-Notebook.57322.0.html</a>  - and leverage with an affordable machine.<br>

ua workload requires Pentium generation processor but am imagining<br>
someday u might decide to do virtualisation if that will happen i<br>
would advise u go for i3s 5or i7s from my experience they work best<br>
for 64bit virtualization.<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>
