    Hi.

    I am in Australia so R700 may be different models in other places.
    Narrowed down to choice of two R700 models with i5 cpus.

    One uses Intel HM55 chipset; the other uses QM57 chipset.

    Otherwise appear identical.

    Can anyone enlighten me what the chipset effect is? I suspect not much between them but HM55 is in the lower priced model of the two.

    Thanks for any input.
