c330 vs i5: Is the price for the c330 worth it instead of the i5?

I owned the i5 but it was stolen. I'm looking to replace it now. I like the c330 better in every way except that the screen is significantly less bright. For this reason alone, I'm thinking of getting another i5. Price diff is negligable (approx $50)

The first one has the i7 intel CPU the second one has the i5 CPU. Depends how much processor power you want. If you just want to browse the internet, send emails, do some light office work the i5 is fine. if you use Cad software, do heavy gaming or other processor intense activities then the i7 is the wway to go

yes indeed. I am not sure that at the time I got my Celeron unit, the Core i3 version existed yet.Good luck!

look at this comparison vs small I3, not as good for high intensity games, but I have used for many business applications and is great. http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/288/Intel_Core_i3_i3-3220_vs_Intel_Pentium_Dual-Core_G2030.html

SU7300 is way better since it supports Intel Virtualization and has an extra 1 MB L2 Cache. Performance depends a lot on L2 Cache. I would go with SU7300 for an extra $50

There is no stopping... faster everything lets you get things done faster.... you'll be thanking yourself for getting a great computer, especially if you have to edit a lot of video. Time is valuable too and a 'slow' computer is just annoying especially rendering/compiling/outputting video. Buy the best you can afford. Plus, it sounds like a great gaming computer too if you are into that. I bought a $1500 system nearly 4 years ago... while not as powerful as yours obviously, it's still an i-7 with some upgraded geforce graphics card. A powerful computer will last a long time where a bargain computer likely will have to be upgraded regularly just to keep up with the software.

Well in reality there both good, but if you asked me id go with the i5 if I had the money, the i5 operates on 2.7ghz and the Intel Celeron well 1.9ghz. Right of the bat you can see the difference. Now if the money is not available for i5, I would not hesitate to take the Toshiba, its not that is slow or bad, its just there are better laptops out there. I hope this answered it.

I honestly don't know our plans for Arrandale on our UL series. I think there are two options coming from Intel (4 threads and 8) and they are probably much more expensive than the SU7300. Those might be processors for a $1400 ultra-niche model; not sure what we're going to do (really!). We are extremely pleased with the positive reviews from the SU7300 cpu models (spec/price balance) so I wouldn't want to see us mess with success too soon.

The 8350 is a solid processor, mine is running at 4.2 gig in an ASRock 960gm-gs3 motherboard (upgrading to a board with the 990 chipset would help you take full advantage of the processor's capabilities) and it runs even single-thread stuff that maxes the 0 core like flight sim x at 93 frames with fairly high graphics settings. If you want to build a system with plenty of overhead for a year or two down the road, and are dead-set on an AMD processor, you might look at the 9590 fx...I'm hearing good things. Cheers.

ASUS have said the i7 won't be available until mid-June or July. Also US pricing has not been released. In Australia, the i7 will be $2399, compared to $1999 for the i5. This translates to being about $250 more in the US, where the i5 is $1299. Either way, if you plan on replacing your desktop with the AiO and using it as your main unit, I feel that waiting for the i7 is worth it for the extra processing power.

frequency is not important as knowing the class of processors. Sub $300 AMD E series / Intel Celerons = for browsing internet only Sub $400 AMD A4 series dual core/ Intel Pentiums Haswell= browsing, streaming shows $400 and above AMD A6 series QuadCore/ Intel i3 Haswell = everything else except, Video editing AMD A8 and A10 QuadCore/ Intel i5 Haswell= builds upon A6 processor, gaming, video editing, etc.

Frankly the difference is quite negligible between them. That said, it depends on who built it. If it's stock, I'd assume it's 5400. If it's custom, ask the builder.And, you can upgrade this laptop with an msata, which is faster than 7200 by a long shot. So, don't think that the stock build is the end-all-be-all for this machine.

I use the E8600 in this computer and it is the best 775 processor i ever used after trying a few other 775 family CPU's. I think the Q9550 is also very good but it cost a lot more money. I never tried it. The E8600 runs cool and the price is very low compared to what it used to cost. I bought my E8600 from Amazon for $150.

The i7 isnt really that much of a difference than the i5. The i5 is good gaming performance as it is.

It is very expensive for the i7, but it is important for gaming. i5 and below, i won't bother.

I have this model but it all depends on which model you get. Some come with a Core i3. I have the i5 model and I can play most 3d games on medium to high settings well.

its dual core http://ark.intel.com/products/72164/Intel-Core-i5-3230M-Processor-3M-Cache-up-to-3_20-GHz-rPGAkeep an eye on I5 vs I3, it seems Lenovo didnt change the model when they upgraded the CPU.you may think you are getting a deal but you may be comparing I5 vs I3
