Decided I need a laptop for phase 2 of my RAF training so was lookin t the awesome offer in the p170EM http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=LT-012-OE&groupid=959&catid=1828&subcat=
Plan to use it for gaming primarily. Question is, how does the i7 fare over the i5 in this for gaming? I know quad cores trump duals, but what I know about computer hardware is that an i5 is a quad core which isn't the case here so I'm a little lost on performance in this area!
Is it worth the extra £100 for just gaming (as it stands, I think it is the quad cores). £1220 for a top end laptop is to good to pass up!
Cheers
