    On a new dell inspiron running Windows 8, will there be any real noticeable difference between these three processors?
    Won't be gaming, will mostly be used for web surfing, youtube videos, watching avi files/movies.
    The pricing (Dell Canada) is 349, 379 and 399.
    I know that isn't a huge difference in pricing, but don't want to waste the money if there is no real difference.
    Thx!

    Edit- Another option would be to go with a Vostro with a 1000M processor for 349. Is the vostro a better build?
