    Hello folks,

    I need an expert advice from anybody regarding the processor for Vostro 3550 laptop - which I decided to buy.

    These are my preferences for system:

    -Quiet and cool
    -Power efficient (more battery life)
    -Internet browsing
    -Microsoft Office
    - No games
    - Optimized for academic research


    There is a choice between Core i3 2310m and Core i5 2410m. The price difference is $ 220...

    Which one of these two will be more reasonable selection?

    Many thanks for you answers.

    i3 would probably suit your needs better than an i5. The i5 will run hotter due to Turbo Boost (temporarily overclocks your CPU) and eat more battery life.

    Hello Tsunade_Hime,

    Thank you very much for answering the question.

    I ordered the machine with Core i3 processor.
    Hope I did a correct decision.

    All the Best.
