Is this the 3700v4? The V4 has more memory and a different processor and is much faster than the v3. Yet the specs here look like a v3.

This model is version 2...you should skip the Netgear 3700 as this is an "N" device and move on to the next generation "AC" standard.

Yes, M4 has a better controller than the V4. The V4 also has significantly lower random Read/Write performance. Even on SATA II it's better to have a reliable controller for your SSD even though you can't take full advantage SATA III speeds. For the price difference of about $25 the V4 simply doesn't make much sense.

If you buy the WNDR37AV from Amazon, you will receive the WNDR3700v2 in the box which is inferior at the moment because the firmware is old. It's having issues loading web pages at the moment. That issue was fixed with the 3700 and 37AV but the firmware doesn't work for the 3700v2.

Newegg lists the V2 for the same price. Amazon can't be bothered to update their listing, just buy from Newegg.

I see the current ad states Z3770. When I bought it, it was Intel i3 processor. I can't say which is really current. Just looked it up. The one I bought was 11-6363BLK @ $799.99. Also it had 128 GB SSD, not 64 GB

The v1 and v2 are very different, V1 = 600mhz single core CPU, V2 has 800Mhz dual core, the v1 has 2 USB 2.0 , v2 has 1 usb 3.0 and 1 usb 2.0The v1 has 128mb memory whilst V2 has 256mb.So theres a big difference between the 2, hence the question.

Dear Don P. If you are asking about the model NP940X3G-K04US, then this is the 4th Generation I7 Processor for sure. It is clocked at 1.8 MHz However if you are interested in the 4th generation Intel processor make sure that you order this particular model as they are still selling some older 3rd generation based laptops although at much reduced price. Hope this helps.

I'm going for the 410 because of the battery life. I can't figure out why they would go to a smaller battery when the primary upgrade is the n455 processor so that it works with DDR3 ram. I want to be free of power cords for extended periods of time with a netbook so that's why I'm getting the 410!

Where did you get this information? Don't spread false rumors please. On the netgear forums you can actually see people post pics of both pcbs with identical components. Nothing was changed except the outer box. THEY ARE BOTH THE SAME. 3700 v2 has not come out yet. Pretty much all you want is to look for the rev21 boards as those are the best ones out there. For the 3700 usually a red box means its rev21 the yellow boxe means you need to check the upc to make sure. 37av is the same as a red box rev21.The major rev you need to stay away from is rev15, its reported with the most major problems.http://forum1.netgear.com/showthread.php?t=52714&page;=1 Where did you get this information?

To my knowledge this does not qualify as a 4th gen processor as it uses the older architecture and 2011 x79 chipset. It does however carry the same process technology as the 4th gens; ie 22nm process, tri-gate tech and new low power states. This type of chip usually doesn't have a gen class but instead falls under intel's "extreme series"

Honestly I have no idea. I've never used the old model, so I have no basis for comparison. But, if you can find timing differences, then, go with the faster sticks at that point.

Turbo boost goes to 3.4GHz. It's a typo on their part. It should say "2.4GHz-3.4GHz (Turbo)"It actually does state further down the page: "Processor: 4th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-4700MQ (6MB Cache, up to 3.4GHz w/ Turbo Boost) (Standard)"It's still a really good cpu, I no longer have the Alienware and purchased a better spec'ed custom build laptop but kept the same cpu as I felt that it was powerful enough.

Mark probably knows better than me but I would have sworn the I7-3770 (if that's the one you're looking at) is a 3rd gen processor. But, I've been wrong before.

A DV7 is a DV7 whats wrong with you, the other 4 numbers have to do with what type of hard drive operating system etc..

Check the detailed specifications and you will see big differences other than just the faster SATA connection rate. 4x faster reading, 10x faster writing IOPS. 7mm versus 9.5mm thickness. Not sure if the v4 supports SMART on the older controller chip it uses.Then too your SSD may well outlive several computers, why buy an outdated slow one that you will be living with for years?

From what I can see there is no substantial difference between the two series. They look the same and have substantially the same hardware. The M5 listings I have seen seem identical to the V5 I bought. I recommend the V5 so I can imagine the M5 is good too. One note: I got the V5-573PG-9610 which comes with an Nvidia GPU. If you can find this, it is worth it! It makes games and video and graphic programs run much better.
