    OK review.

    I would have suggested touching on below skin level hardware, ie, drive bays, as screens, the non figerprint textures, keyboard, and audio have been covered in several other reviews.

    I find "bit mining" as a bench mark a twist. I read the AMD guys love this bench. I'll have to check out the whole bit mining thing when time permits.

    I like my i5 as well and can directly compare it to older cpu's. Your definition of the 2430M would have me thinking that both cores run at 3.0 GHz in Turbo Mode? Sorry to nit pick.

    Too add on your 2 core vs 4 core performance; How well the 2 core / 4 threads vs 4 cores / 8 threads perform is all about software and how the problem is worked. The popular GOTY, Fallout 3, is a good example when the software is NOT set up for multi core / threads?

    Thanks for you review!
