Thanks Sub for the nice explanation :-).

Dear Dexter, Thanks for the link. The throttling problem for everybody has not been resolved. Kindly advise. I would really like to go for the i5 processor but I am hesitant in ordering the same because of this throttling issue but I am ambivalent about ordering the i3 version because it might...

Comparison: Compare Intel® Products I believe all the processors are dual core only. I am basically a grad student who will have to do a lot of programming, and work a lot on matlab but now that I think of it even the older computers used to run matlab pretty well. So I am wondering whether...

I am considering buying a new laptop. Could you please hint the relative difference in performance between the i3 2310M vs i5 2410M in particular. If there is a significant difference I'll consider buying the higher version of the i5 processor.

After doing a lot of research about a month back, I zeroed in on the x220 with i7 processor, 8 GB RAM, IPS display. Unfortunately, lenovo thinkpad forums report that this laptop has throttling issues with the i7/i5 processor. I talked to lenovo customer care representatives a couple of time who...

Re: x220: Rest Pad [Kindly advise] Did you get one with an i5 or i7 processor? Are you experiencing any throttling issues.

Re: x220: Rest Pad [Kindly advise] Thanks :-).

Re: x220: Rest Pad [Kindly advise] Thanks for your reply Bottle. If anybody has experience with this thing, please let me know.

x220: Rest Pad [Kindly advise] More than two reviews have mentioned that the rest pad of the Lenovo X220 Thinkpad has less than average rest pad which might prove to be painful over long use. Can somebody shed light on this issue. I am planning to buy this laptop in around 2 weeks. Review 1...

Main Use: Mobile platform which I can carry around with me and also do heavy scientific computing for two years. In short, it'll be my primary workhorse laptop.I'll be watching movies and stuff on a 23" monitor or 14" laptop except for watching occasional videos on the 12.5" laptop. Description...

Re: Difference in Performance: i5-2520M vs i5-2540M vs i7-2620M (Lenovo x220, Macbook 1) As per my crude calculations. If the processor cache is the same. i7 = 2.7 * 10^9 operations per sec i5_2.3 = 2.3 * 10^9 operations per sec i5_2.6 = 2.6 * 10^9 operations per sec i7 to i5_2.3 difference...

Thanks for your advice you all. I'll go for the better processor. In addition to all your arguments, I was told by a friend that for my needs - as I'll be working on big matrices (not more than 1 GB in size in all probability) to solve scientific problems which 8 GB of RAM should be able to...

I am planning to buy a new laptop. Should I go for a solid state hard disk ($280-360) or an i7 processor ($200)? Although in a previous thread I asked about which processor should I go for, I think it is an important question, and therefore, deserves its own thread.

I would like to find out the difference primarily between i5-2540M vs i7-2620M. My tasks will be primarily technical computations such as on tools like Matlab and heavy computational programming. Will the difference be substantial if I switch to the i7 processor? Kindly note that both processors...

I am going to buy from the US.
