I am planning on buying a one of the new Vizio notebooks and know that I would like an i7.
However, I am undecided whether to get the "thin and light" with a dual core i7-3517U (1.9GHz) and 4 Gb of ram or to get the full notebook with the quad core i7-3610QM (2.3GHz) with 8 Gb of ram.
Basically my question is: what are the technical and practical limitations of the dual core i7 vs the quad core i7? Are they fundamentally different? Is the dual core i7 just an upclocked i5?
Thanks again everyone
