    Anyone here with a core3 core5 or core7 laptop?

    Just curious....

    How much faster does it run than your older Duo-Core laptop?

          depends what you need it for

          if you're not going to do rendering on it, you don't need Core i7

                Just ordered this:
                Alienware M15x Special Edition ? Nebula Red, Intel® Core? i7-720QM Quad Core Processor 1.6GHz (2.8GHz Turbo Mode, 6MB Cache), 6GB DDR3 at 1333MHz, 15.6-inch WideFHD 1920x1080 (1080p) WLED, 1GB NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 260M, 256GB Solid State Drive



                I'm replacing an almost 2 year old m15x with 2.6 core 2 duo and 4gb of ram.

                I used the m15x w/ 2.6 core 2 duo for almost a year as my only pc. Bought an Alienware desktop with i7 920 2.67 and 6GB of ram, mainly to run 2 monitors again. Apart from having 2gb more ram and 7200 RPM drives in RAID 0 that was the main difference between the two. (Not counting video cards ;))

                I'll just say the 2.67 i7 blows away the 2.6 core 2 duo. This desktop makes my old laptop seem like a total pos... when it's actually a great pc. Both are running Window 7 Ultimate 64 bit.

                When I was reading the reviews of the mobile i7, they showed all sorts of benchmarks where even the slowest 1.6 mobile i7 blew away even the extreme core 2 duo mobile chip.

                I'm really most interested to see how the 256gb solid state hard drive is. If it's as good as people are saying, I'll probably buy one for the desktop and move the 2 500gb drives to storage duty

                I'll get the M15x in a few day, I'll let you know what I think :D

                          Alienware / Dell.

                          Will be my thrid Alienware laptop and I just got a new desktop from them as well. Amazing quality IMO.

                          I have probably built around 30 pcs since 1995 until around 2005 as well, I think they're better then home build systems as well. Sure it's more expensive, but I've had 0 issues

                            I have a Toshiba Quad i7, and it's nice.

                            Any i7 CPu will be faster than almost all core2Duo. It's a given.

                            Don't get put off by any low GHZ numbers. You can't compare different generation chips that way. Mine is 1.6Ghz, and I think that for a laptop, it's pretty fast.

                              Yeah should be really interesting to see how it performs vs 2.6 core 2 duo

                                    That's what I have in my desktop, great CPU :D

                                    Would love to 5500 or 7400 series Xeons in my server, but it doesn't really meet the budget :D

                                      Clock for clock the i7 is faster, so that would probably make the actual CPU speed close to equal -- except the i7 has 4 cores.

                                      Of course, that won't matter unless you use apps that take advantage of that. Almost everything I use does, so its great for me.

                                      the new i9 that's coming out has 6 cores, and is faster than the i7 clock for clock(32nm).

                                          How much faster does it run than your older Duo-Core laptop?

                                            Got the M15x over the weekend...

                                            It's truely a great laptop, haven't felt one that was built better.

                                            I'm not 100% sold on the SSD drive, still takes around 25 seconds to boot into Win7... we'll see seems to be some tweaks.

                                            The LED screen is amazing, too bad it's 1920x1080 vs 1920x1200

                                                I have a C2D T9500 2.6/6M in my workstation laptop HP8710W + 4 gigs of ram and Windows 7 Ultimate X64.

                                                C2D mobile processors T9400+ are great and fast enough for gaming/rendering. For multitasking quads like i7 are better, but if you do lots of hard tasks at the same time better get a desktop

                                                The best upgrade you can do to your laptop is SSD drive.

                                                I put in my laptop 120GB OCZ SUMMIT 220/200 and this is it, laptop is super fast, photoshop launches in a few seconds, almost like notepad.

                                                So if you need it for gaming get a fast C2D processor like T9900 + high end gpu, if you need it for multitasking get i7 + middle range gpu

                                                  I'm not impressed enough with the SSD to replace my raid drives in my desktop... I thought I would be shocked though.

                                                  The windows experience score for the laptop is 7.1 out of 7.9, the desktop scores a lot higher, most 7.4s, but the RAID drives show up as 5.9 and kills my score lol
