Re: [Skunkworks] [SKUNKWORKS] Understanding PC Processors
Dude for 60k you can get a core i5 and in some places core i7 you ain't looking hard enough..just saying :-) Martin Gicheru <martin@techweez.com> wrote:
Hallo Skunks I am about to spend some money on a laptop, not more than 60k. It has been my understanding that Intel core 13 is better in processing than Core 2 Duo. Today a certain techie wanted to dispel this, saying that the Dell Inspiron 1545(Core 2 Duo) would be better than the Dell Inspiron N5040(Core i3 2.66GHz with 3MB Cache) which is currently being sold by Safaricom at 52k.
I am not much of a developer, I do simple wordpress css and php dev for my site and other sites I run. Most of the stuff I do is blogging, reading (I can have upto 30 tabs of browser open) and ofcourse simple image editing for use on the blogs.
Would this be a good buy?

@Stephen you have any suggestions of places I could try visit? @Muoki that'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's world, we all want as much as we can fit in out machines. Thank Mark too. On Wed, Jun 27, 2012 at 5:58 AM, Stephen Kimani <steve.kim41@gmail.com>wrote:
