Two lenovo systems evaluation

Hi,

I could hear you comments about two systems and know How could be better Laptop election, I am not gammer, No Games never.

Option 1:

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor P8800 (2.66GHz)
6GB (4GBx1 + 2GBx1) DDR3-SDRAM-1066
320GB SATA Hard Disk Drive (7200rpm)


Option 2

Intel® Core™ i5-520M 2.4Ghz (2.93Ghz Turbo) Processor - 1066Mhz FSB
Intel Turbo Boost, Hyper-Threading Technology
500GB 7200RPM 3GB/s SATA HardDrive
4GB DDR3 PC3-8600 1066Mhz RAM


My intention is take decision to buy the fast and strong system,

Thanks

 

so is there any price difference between the two system?

I would take the Core i5 system if costs the same.

 

it's hard to advise if you don't say which models they are

 

T400 vs T410

 

so is there any price difference?

 

T410 little more expensive by $ 110 usd

 

if that is the case, then i would advise you to take the T410 instead. The i5 cpu will perform better than the P8800 CPU.

Also, the availability of the esata port and displayport on the T410 should make far more appealing to the T400, which is a fine machine by its own right.

Personally i like the display port implementation, as this allows me to run two external monitor without having the dock or the lenovo usb2dvi adapter.

 

Dear lead Org,

I apprecaite your comments and suggestion, just one final ask:

How much difference could be between processors in performance row ?

One has 6MB and Other 4 Mb similar performance ?

Thanks

 

the performance is not due to the L2 cache but the change in CPU architecture.

PassMark Intel vs AMD CPU Benchmarks - High End

this a benchmark comparison chart.

i5 cpu can function as 4 cores with the hyperthreading technology, which is something that core 2 duo cpu lacks.

 

Option 1 is severely outdated and the CPU is not the easiest thing to upgrade whereas RAM and HDD upgrades can be done easily.

 

Yes, go for the i5. Newer architecture, more futureproof and energy efficient. The only Core2 CPU that I'd still prefer over the i-core is the QX9300 (with OC'ing unlocked in BIOS), but that's another story.

i5, hands down.

 

Definitely the core i5 system. The T410 is a great laptop and will hold up well.
Plus the 4GB of ram is all you need, unless you do tasks that require more.

 

Thank you very much to all member that gave me you recommendation...

Just one ask, Where can find information between T410S Vs T410, How could be better election ?

Thanks

 

Tabbook?

T410s is basically slimmer and lighter than the T410 hence the more expensive price tag.

 

If looking for a power machine, you want the T410, not the 410s. If you want thin and light (without going all the way to an x series) then you want the 410s.
