Hiya guys....I'm in the market for a new laptop and will appreciate some input from the gurus??? What would your choice be between an i3,quad core,1.9 ghz,6gb of ram and dedicated graphics OR i5 quad core,1.7 ghz,4gb ram and also dedicated graphics? Both are from Lenovo and both marked G5070? I'm not a serious gamer and will only be using for general computing like light games,watching DVD,listening to music,etc.? |

Both come with a 1TB hard drive as well? Just confused as to why the i3's clock speed is faster than the i5's and it comes with more RAM????

In the price range I can afford the choice is between these 2 or the Dell inspiron 15 with 4gb ram and 500gb hdd??? Which would you choose???

Check their review on notebookcheck.net
I'd always pick one with better gpu. And max ram upgradable. |

i3 quad core?  . Even the i5's on laptops are dual cores now. i3 is the low end, i5 mid range and i7 the top stuff from Intel. A while back Intel moved from performance to energy saving in laptop CPU's. It's not only about clock speeds when it comes to performance. Do both clock speeds include, what Intel calls, 'Turbo' speeds too? tldr, the i5 is better. |

@ spngbob - 27.04.15 - 08:35pm In the price range I can afford the choice is between these 2 or the Dell inspiron 15 with 4gb ram and 500gb hdd??? Which would you choose??? The Dell is much more robust, and I suspect it can do what u need done...that would be my choice, as we are not discussing price, but something that can fill your needs... |

Thanx for the feedback gents. I did check the reviews and even though I'm not a total noob when it comes to tech,tbh they just confused me more??? Was hoping you guys could give it a once over and tell me what you think??? @newt,what is tldr? I wish I took photos of the processor detail,from the properties screen? ALL of the ones I looked at were quad core? What is the difference, always thought 4 processors meant more computing power? Is dual core better than?

Yes it also includes turbo speeds,but I read somewhere that when the cpu and gpu are both under full load,then the turbo speed falls away and speeds drop to base clock speeds??? @ ungers,thanx oom Jan ;-) though the Dell might be more robust, I read far more bad reviews on the Dell than the Lenovos? And the Dell has a hdd half the size of the others,so again,tbh this is very confusing? Your thoughts again gents? Sori if I sound a nag,just want as nuch input as possible to make an informed choice???

I think you're confused. Core i3 And i5 on on laptops are dual-core with hyper threading. Cuz of HT you see four logical cpus. Have you checked Acer? You'll get better specifications for less price. |

I have the i7 Lenovo G50 70 and its a dam fine computer  it runs upto 3.10mhz without the intel extream tuning software and have seen it peak at 3.45mhz with it turned on. My Lenovo is sturdily built, it feels like a solid computer. Used to be an acer user had 3 acer laptops and loved each one, I was put off acer by my last computer, i bought it spent 8 hours setting it up and the first time i switched it off it refused to restart. So got another one, same thing happend so i refunded that and paid the extra for the lenovo.
