Hi All
I am in the market for a new laptop, ideally 17.3" which will be used for general office duties, browsing, watching movies and a bit of photo editing etc.

When looking at various alternatives I have noticed the Pentium B960 and B970 processors in quite a few of the laptops on offer.

My gut reaction is to go with an i3 because it seems the best entry level processor and the other benefits like turboboost, hyperthreading etc.

In terms of best value for money, is the B970 a good solid performer or would I be better spending the extra on an i3.

Thanks in anticipation
 
Neither have turbo, one of the main differences is the pentium CPUs don't have HT, have the graphics quite majorly cut and 2MB instead of 3MB of cache.
