Yes.
You can move hdd to ssd by using few software available.

for normal use , i5 is enough. any i7 proc is overkill. so it is up to u to choose 3630 or 3610

The I7 is mainly for gaming, as well as the graphic card inside it

uh no.... i5 is enough for gaming.... i7 is more for heavy use like video rendering etc...
that's why there's no need actually to go for i7 if there's i5 alternative as most likely i7 wont be optimized fully smile.gif

Barely any games make use of more than dual core other than real time strategy games, the quad core just means unnecessary extra heat. But yes quad cores are extremely useful for rendering purposes.

ic...

But i5 laptop don't have the same graphic card...too bad
