I might buy my school laptop tomorrow already and I've always liked Sony so I want a Sony vaio, an i3 processor 4GB memory 640GB hard drive 15.5 inch screen Is going for 600$ which wud be in my budget another vaio exactly the same except for 14 inch screen and i5 instead of i3 going for around 730$ is there a huge difference ? I'd use it for school work, some Internet surfing like the usual, facebook YouTube etc... And some gaming, a game I like a lot is Ragnarok ( brazil version ) for those who don't know it it's pretty much a WoW with worse graphics, and maybe a few other minor games, would the i3 to i5 make such a difference ? Thanks :)

Answer 3 :
With processers u should see what speed they are in terms of GHz: eg: An i5 2.1 Ghz processer and An i3 2.93 GHz processor would be about the same but the new I processer are smarter and are much better with multi tasking and more programme they can handle much more, so u would want the higher number so i5 just make sure u have enough RAM and Hard Drive to help the processer as they all work together with read and write speeds........ Also u r gaming so a bigger screen would be much better. The price difference would probably be the ages of models, newer model will be more Hope it helps ;) :D
Answer 4 :
Harpz S...please don't post if you don't know anything about processors... The i3 processor would be sufficient to run you game and do schoolwork. However I also reccomend the AMD bobcat processor, or AMD fusion to run your game better and it will still have the processing power that you'll need to do schoolwork.
Answer 5 :
they'll both be zippy!
Answer 6 :
Graphics card is so much more important than the processor when it comes down to gaming. Try this laptop recommender: http://laptoprec.com

Difference between Core i3, Core i5 and Core i7 Intel will stop selling Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad in 2010. Core is the new range of Intel processors. Core i3: * Entry level processor. * 2-4 Cores * 4 Threads * Hyper-Threading (efficient use of processor resources) * 3-4 MB Catche * 32 nm Silicon (less heat and energy) Core i5: * Mid range processor. * 2-4 Cores * 4 Threads * Turbo Mode (turn off core if not used) * Hyper-Threading (efficient use of processor resources) * 3-8 MB Catche * 32-45 nm Silicon (less heat and energy)
