QUOTE(pandera999 @ Apr 29 2015, 12:05 PM) then u no need FHD  mostly dual core will.. more core doesnt mean all those core will be useable while we do computing.. excel stuff and lots of other computing. For instance, a dual core processor may have base clock speeds of 3.5 GHz for each processor while a quad core processor may only run at 3.0GHz. Just looking at a single core on each of them, the dual core processor will be able to about fourteen percent faster than on the quad core. Thus, if you have a program that is only single threaded, the dual core processor is actually better. Then again, if you have something that can use all four processors such as video transcoding, then the quad core processor will actually be about seventy percent faster than that dual core processor. For the most part, having a higher core count processor is generally a good thing but it is a very complicated matter. For the most part, a dual core or quad core processor is going to be more than enough power for a basic computer user. The majority of consumers will see no tangible benefits from going beyond four processor cores currently as there is so little software that can take advantage of it.The only people that should consider such high core count processors are those going tasks such as desktop video editing or complicated science and math programs. we dunno the amount his company involve le... my Fren accountant of MNC uses dual n it crashes the laptop.. too large sum involved... wait his reply bout the amount involves

QUOTE(psyduck89 @ Apr 29 2015, 12:32 PM) well, I guess his explanation clear my misconception.. I think i just need to pump more ram instead of more core of cpu for multifile loading.. thx for ur suggestion.  Ulv processor not Design for heavy multitasking so if normal multitasking still ok.. n u need a SSD.. I suggest u look for spec like this i7-4700mq/HQ or i7-3740qm(not sure bout 3630qm) 8GB ram 256SSD 660m above would be enuf Spend more on SSD better Forget to mention dual core oso hv M n H Which better for ur work This post has been edited by myway1985: Apr 29 2015, 12:40 PM

QUOTE(psyduck89 @ Apr 29 2015, 12:55 PM) for hybrid drive.. the ssd part only so small portion.. does it really significantly better than normal hdd?? since 8gb cant even install OS on it & not all application able to fit inside it.. i doubt it will give significant performance improvement. I agree wif u... coz I hv 32GB msata SSD for cache.. still slow.. the main HDD is using normal 5400rpm... Get 128SSD if ur budget not enuf for 250

QUOTE(psyduck89 @ Apr 29 2015, 01:08 PM) im willing to spend for SSD, but the problem is if i only can pick either SSD or HDD.. I guess HDD gonna be my choice.. unless there is a laptop provide both SSD and HDD slot for us.. well, it might be in my wishlist..  Do like Arthur say.. take out the optical drive then use HDD candy to install ur 1TB HDD.. main use SSD.
