@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.

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?

Martin, chances are if the core 2 duo performs better, it does so with the sacrifice of more power. If I were you I would go for the core i3 though its about 1.5 yrs old now; its a Nahalem architecture. I would look out for a Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge as they are less power hungry and integrated GPU. My 2 cents :) On Wed, Jun 27, 2012 at 8:31 AM, Stephen Kimani <steve.kim41@gmail.com>wrote:
