its not rubbish its just the previous generation , The new chips have a hyperthreading tech that makes them more effcient at multitasking. i5 can overclock themselves when needed of extra power, i7 are quad core. Most people with a core 2 duo would upgrade to an i7. i3 and i5 are not really a big enough jump to purchase a whole new laptop.
Depending on your reason for getting a laptop, you could wait a little longer for the offers. sign up to their newsletter, they do 5% -10% discount codes which if you get it right you can with similar special price and free delivery and topcashback get a 30% discount. I got the equivlent to 34% on my studio 15 last yr.Survey earnings total 2009 £417, 2010 £875, 2011 £5740 -
Hi,
If you aren't concerned about fancy packaging then I would recommend taking a browse through the Dell outlet listings. I've had a couple of machines from them over the years with no complaints and tidy savings compared with the regular price. Last one was a Studio 1745 (Core i7) for £600 instead of £900+ on the main site. Very small light scratch on the lid, otherwise perfect.
Best of luck with the search.Keep smiling,

You install the new OS by booting the laptop from the DVD/CD drive or a USB drive the contains the new OS installation files on it.Just a little curious as to how to make a laptop run on linux once windows dies. Surely if there is no OS, how can one do anything, like installing a new OS like linux?Do I want it? ......Do I need it? ......What would happen if I don't buy it??????0 -

Ubuntu quite frankly sucks. I think everyone would be so much better off with a Mac.We’ve had to remove your signature. Please check the Forum Rules if you’re unsure why it’s been removed and, if still unsure, email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0
