Hi Folks...MS Open Registration for WIN 8...HERE
I dunno which i5 and which i7 you are talking about.
If it's i7-3520M and i5-3360M - both having 2 cores and 4 threads, the difference between them is only 100 Mhz. This won't matter one bit for GPU intensive games. Most games fall into this category.
We do have games like GTA IV (unoptimised console ports) which love more cores and higher frequency - CPU intensive. i7-3610QM (4 coures and 8 threads) will help out here.
Even if you pick up i3-3110M (2 cores and 4 threads, no turbo) - you will see negligible/zero difference in gaming as most games are GPU intensive apart from exception. Discrete GPU dictates the performance primarily.

bro, if a processor can handle GTA iv(which is cpu intensive) I don't see why it can't handle a rts game, at least in low-medium settings. n yea the screen seems foggy at first, but that's coz of the anti-glare.
even i had the same problem just keep trying u'll b able to download it

So I bought the i7 version today. Haven't done any really testing as such. Just browsing and stuff. Trackpad seems a little unresponsive (or is it just me being new to it?) compared to other laptops I occasionally use. Have updated the bios and removed some crapware. What else should I be doing in terms of updating and stuff?

format it
I have to format it using a new win-win DVD or the recovery disk allows you to do that without the crapware.
If I can't with my recovery disk, does it mean I lose genuine windows forever (don't have a retail disk of win7)?
I'm new to this whole laptop stuff.

Nice, still using max cpu 100%??
the recovery disc is the windows 7 disc, you can use that to format your lap any no of times. and when formatting don't delete a 22gb partition, this contains all the driver's ....
seems to be out of stock in nextworld, and flipkart states 6-7 days delivery time
...will have to wait

if you lost your windows 7 dvd disc, doesn't matter...download windows 7 home premium from microsft and the enter the product key (look for a sticker under your laptop ). and NEVER EVER format 22GB partiton, that contains all the drivers.

why you suggesting someone to reinstall windows? Don't he will face issue regrading to serial key access and all.
By removing all bloatwares and unnecessary application is good enogh for better performance as the computer is of 8GB RAM it is can do multi-tasking smoothly, formatting a drive always get some bad effect to HDD
Heyy, have you done this or read somewhere? Don't he will face issue when he install windows 7 of somewhere and get issues regarding to serial key access.

i have done this already, today or tommorow he has to learn it, i didn't faced any problem while formatting for first time, and UI of installing windows 7 is quite user friendly with simple language, it doesn't need any rocket science.
