Hi, I am looking to buy a laptop, and have narrowed my search down to two different CPUs. I would appreciate your help on choosing which one to go with. Both computers would have 4GB RAM (2x2GB) and a 1GB ATI Radeon graphics card.
The choices are (for the same price):
i7-640M (2.80GHz, 4MB cache, 2 core)
or
i7-740QM (1.73GHz, 6MB cache, 4 core)
I will be using the laptop for, in addition to general use, photo editing in Photoshop, video editing and rendering, audio recording and editing, digital audio manipulation, and software DJing. However the laptop will not be used for gaming.
I currently do all this on my pentium 4 3.2GHz desktop with only 1gb ram and it is sloooooow
Any advice would be helpful, thanks.
