Hey,
So im planing on buying a new Asus Laptop and i just got 2 offers from the hardware shop.
The only difference is the CPU
the first CPU is an Intel Pentium N3520
and the second one is an Intel i3-4010U

now usually i would just got for the I3 becouse it's Hyperthreded but the price difference is pretty big.
both Laptops are the same other than the CPU, but one with the I3 is about 175(ish) dollars more
and im not sure if it's worth the extra buck, what do you think?

It should be noted that the processor within both laptops cannot be upgraded. They're both BGA sockets whereby the CPU is soldered onto the motherboard. :(

The above isn't actually a problem, unless you were planning to upgrade the laptop in the distant future to gain better performance.

All the best. :)
