i3 and i5 are architecturally same in the mobile market, just that i5 can turbo to higher clockspeeds, get i3+8750, make sure its i3xxxxM and not i3xxxxU, U stands for ULV and that's a cr@p processor.

Significant only when it comes down to single core operations. I.E. for apps/games that utilize only 1 core at a time. THe turbo clocks it upto 3.3Ghz in single core mode.
But when both the cores are in use , they perform on same level .

Thank you both - all confusions solved

8750=radeon 7730=nvidia 640gt. Wouldn't that be a better option. Sorry I'm

Hi topgear
is this for me?
also will i5 and 8gb ram required for entertainment only? i3 and 4gb will be enough

here you go :

HP Envy 6-1011TU
Sony VAIO T14113CN
Sony VAIO SVT13113EN
Lenovo Ideapad U310 (59-341070)

So after reading the you guys's posts I've concluded that there is a Significant difference in performance between i3 and i5 but i3+8750m would be better and more future proof in terms of gaming than an i5+7670m..... Right?

Thats damn sure.

BTW, I've a question : Google Chromebook Pixel available anywhere here ?

 

[akii17kr]

hello friends,
i have low budget of maximum 35k and want this configuration i5+7670m or other configuration having same performance as above... so i am quietly biased on dell imported Thailand laptops as it will come at cheap price with same configuration .

so here's main question:
i want to know how will dell Thailand imported laptop warranty works in India ??? If I'll be provided with full warranty including everything software and hardware or means like how normal warranty works in India ?? Do i need any invoice or bill any proof of warranty or service tag number is enough?? Is it completely safe to buy these imported laptops ?? Will it come in box packed condition ?? How to avail full 2yr+1yr additional warranty in India if for example i buy this laptop from ebay (there are many dell imported Thailand laptops in ebay this link is just for example)

DELL N5520 - i5-3210M (2.50 GHz, )15.6"/ 4 GB/ 1TB HDD/AMD Radeon HD 7670M 1GB | eBay


Also see this link
In this it is shown that how you can change ownership towards to you from Thailand purchase to make Indian one and avail Indian warranty.
will it work fine ??

DELL WARRANTY TRANSFER (OWNERSHIP TRANSFER) - DesiDime, India's Shopping Community for Best Deals


generally i5+7670m combination costs more than 35k...
In India
and recently the hp amd a8 2005ax is back in stock in flipkart for just about 31k
So if it'll be advisable to pay extra 5-6k more for i5+7670m rather than amd a8+7670m or i3+7670m(could get it for 32k)
also hp additional warranty comes at cheaper rate if want to upgrade..

So help me guys.. I am a software engineering student so graphics is must... Rest all entertainment things will use like music, movies, internet etc...
note: need 15.6" screen n avoiding hp just for plastic build quality if g6 as compare to dell at same price

if you get 3rd gen i5 + 7670M @ 35k then this is definitely worth the premium over A8 + 7670M but just be sure about the warranty.

i asked same thing man..
I know i5+7670m is no doubt better.. But by how margin ?
Does extra 4k or 5k work the cost for i5 ??
And please someone put some light on warranty doubt..

i meant if the warranty transfer doesn't cost more. and dual GPU cancels out most of the advantage i5 brings so in terms of gaming both will end up delivering same experience.

I dropped the plan of hp amd one. Its price up by 1.5k in flipkart so is 32k and i can get i3+7670m combination at this price
And check that warranty transfer link..
Its states that it is free...

If you are getting I3+7670m at ~32k , its VFM. Go for it.
If you are on a tight budget , then spending extra 4-5k for I5 won't be a good choice if gaming is major concern.

The models having U suffix in the end are having Ultra low power processors , as such they have lower performance , however their Turbo mode is quite aggresive.
So whenever needed they can turbo to higher clock speed.

Thanks...
What if you know about that warranty concern i've asked about for dell imported Thailand laptop....any clues for it ??

 

[topgear]

^^ I've read about the ownership transfer but still the procedure looks kinda funny and AFAIK ( well, I may be wrong ) you need to have a bill of the laptop purchased in Thailand unless the model has global warranty support.

get this one ( link ) the second last laptop in your list and you don't need to worry about U or M and Dual core and Turbo ... this 4 core beast offers freaky performance.
