Hey,

Looking for some advice please guys :

I currently have a Dell D630 with the following specification

T9300 Core 2 Duo @ 2.5Ghz
3GB ram
60GB ssd
NVS 135m nvidia graphics card
14" (1440x900)

I'm looking at getting the following spec :

Windows 8 64 ( This will be going, can't stand windows 8)
Intel® Core™ i3-3217U @ 1.8 GHz
6GB ram
750 GB SATA (5400 rpm)
32 GB mSATA SSD

14" LED-backlit (1366 x 768)

I realise the above is ivybridge, but will it be quicker in use once I bin the 5400rm sata hdd?
 
For browsing, watching videos, and word processing? None.

For CPU intensive tasks like having massive Excel files, yes.
 
I want something ligher!

My dell currently has two batteries to achieve 5 hours battery life and I fancy being able to tinker with photoshop whilst out with the camera if necessary!

I hope it'll be quicker for that?
