Hi,

I was just wondering whether there was any sense in buying a Dell Studio 15 now, with a T5750 processor, and planning to replace this in ~18 months with a faster Socket P processor.

At present, the T8100 is ~£60 more on the outlet, which doesn't seem like great value.

In contrast, in 18 months, £60 ought to go quite a long way on this generation of Socket P processors. Is there any chance of FSB speeds matching?

Hope this makes some sense!
 
It seems really hard to compare processors in laptops. For example, benchmarks put the T5750 as faster than the T7300.

Given that i understand the T5750 to be a T7250 is less cache, i fail to see how these things are possible!
