I am considering buying a laptop for university, which can also play 1080p videos. Currently I am looking at the Acer Aspire 5740G, with an i3 330M and a Mobility 5650. I can use MPC-HC for the vids for GPU decoding, but I'm also curious to know how well the i3 does compared to Turions, Athlons, and Core 2 Duo?
