i7 mobile choice

[AshleyUK]

Hello,

Is the i7 2860QM worth the extra £150 over thr 2760QM, dont mind paying the money if it is going to be worth it.


Laptop had XT Hybrid and 8gb 1600mhz Ram GTX560M

Thanks,
Ashley

Unless your doing some very CPU demanding work then I doubt there any real life gain from a 2670 -> 2760 -> 2860 really. If your after a gaming laptop I would upgrade the GPU to a 6990m and drop the cpu back to a 2670, this should give you a huge boost in games with no real cpu lose.

Spec looks perfect only 1 thing is that you could save a few pennies if you go with the 1333mhz should see no difference. SDD + i7 + 6990 will eat up your photoshop and gaming needs and still have plenty left to give .

If i drop ram to 1300 can get the next I7 up 2760 in my budget.

So 8GB Ddr3 1300mhz and 2760QM and same as rest above?
