i3 or i5 Intel Core?

We have two Inspirons. Both have i5 series processors but you should, of course, check the published specifications.

This one is the i5 processor. The I3 and the I7 should be available August first but most people believe that this processor is the "sweet spot" between price and performance. You are going to pay another 250 bucks for the i7.

I'm not sure about the i3, but I installed a Haswell i7 processor with no BIOS update required.

Any AM3 plus processor. I personally picked up the fx 4170 when I got mine.

Yes it does, and they are more than enough for the i3. This is one of Intel's better values. I'm very happy with this chip. It's a no brainer to get this with its Hyper Threading over an i5 for most people since most software is only optimized for 2 threads. The HT gives you a bit more future proofing. This is essentially an i7-4771 with 2 cores fused off and a slight clock boost. Again, this chip is a great value and I think you'll be pleased with it.

Yes, this model has an Intel Core i5-3230M processor. My VAIO has performed admirably over the last two months that I have used it. I am taking an online Masters program and it has been a great asset. I especially like the large touch screen...very responsive and easy to use.

No. I use an Intel brix i3 or i5. If you want game too, then i7. Then get mSATA drive and 8gb ram. Mount to wall. It's solid state, quiet, runs and works like a champ! I think i5 is enough but if you are heavy gamer and have $, use i7. Good luck. They're cool!

Felipe, this laptop has the core i5 3rd generation which comes with integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000

Thanks for the advice but do you think the dual core would be better? It's cheaper as well.

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

I personally would go with the amd quad core because its faster and I've had it for about 3 months now and it is really worth it

You should be fine with the i5, I own one and it's great. I think I will keep mine for about three years ( by then I should be able to afford a new model if I save my pennies)

Manufacturers always get more money for the newest, fastest chip set, or for equipping a model with a solid state hard drive (SSD) rather than a spinning drive. I doubt that I could pick up differences between core processors, so I was satisfied to save money on an i3 version. I don't play games, so that sort of intensive application might reveal a different picture. I've been very pleased with the Yoga 3 for the 3+ months we've had it.

It's Core i3. Specs are here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03782467&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en

The i5 processor is a new version. Better but not noticable for normal application. Unless you plan on using your computerms for online games or an thing that requires very high processing ability yout would not notice a difference. An upgrade in ram would give a huge boost on noticeable seen in practical use though.. in any computer. :) hope that helps

It's a dual core Atom. They have a newer version with an i3, but it way overpriced.

Sorry, here's my answer to the Intel I5 processor is very good and very past when your are making downloading or wi-fi internet compare to the other processor before this is much better and I already recommend to my friend and my colleagues.
