Which do you think will be a all around better laptop?

lenovo IdeaPad U350(296346U) NoteBook Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300(1.30GHz) 13.3" Wide XGA 4GB Memory DDR3 1066 320GB HDD 5400rpm Intel GMA 4500MHD

I am not worried about the DVD drive, more about speed.

 

if you're worried about speed then obviously this u350 would be faster than this u450p (albeit not hugely different)

 

They are exactly the same CPUs except SU7300 has Intel VT(Virtualization) and 3 MBs L2 cache vs 2 MBs on SU4100

" This Computer" is my lenovo U450P and the other one is lenovo U350. Notice that SU7300 is in fact detected as U7300 same goes with SU4100 as U4100. (Performance Test 7 x86)


It is very possible that the person who benched the U350 had possible bloatware on his laptop, so the scores are bit affected. My laptop includes no additional software, firewall was turned off and no Anti-Virus. Oh, and no background running apps during benchmarking.

BTW I reviewed the U450P on the newegg. :]

PS: I bought sticker to replace the


It all comes down to personal choice...

EDIT: Corrected some mistakes and added additional information.

 

not exactly...su7300 has 3mb l2 cache, su4100 has 2mb

that does make a (slight) difference

 

that was a great review on egghead, and our IT guy said he could understand everything you said.

 

For everyday tasks, they'll perform pretty much identically.

 

What about throwing the SL410 into the mix?

 

I was bit technical there, but great to hear positive feedback.

@cassiohui
Yeah, forgot to mention that.
