    Why old i5? Didn't know they still made those things.

    In any case, nice laptop, good deal.

    Decent deal. CPU doesn't matter to most people, i5 is more than plenty.

    Sheesh guys I wasn't criticizing the choice of chip, only asking because I didn't realize the chips were still available considering Sandy Bridge has been out for a while now. Not sure the reason for sensitivity.

    Not sensitivity, trying to make a joke that seems to have failed

    Ha. Well maybe I was too sensitive, just got two responses about the CPU being just fine. In any case, I like how the laptop looks. But I have too many as it is! :p
