I currently have the following spec'd laptop:

Acer 7720
Intel Core 2 Duo T7700 (2.4GHz, 800 MHz FSB, 4MB L2 Cache),
up to 1280MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT
4GB DDR2

Contemplating the following:
Acer 8940G
Intel® Core™ i7 720QM (6 MB L3 cache, 1.60 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB, 45 W); 4GB (2/2) DDR3 1066 SDRAM; 500GB SATA hard drive, 5400RPM; integrated Blu-ray Disc™ drive / Super-Multi drive combo; 18.4" Full HD (1920 x 1080), high-brightness (220-nit) Acer CineCrystal™; NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 240M with up to 28155 MB of TurboCache™ (1024 MB of dedicated DDR3 VRAM, up to 1791 MB of shared system memory);

What's bothering me is the drop from Core 2 Duo (2.4GHz) to and Intel Core i7 (1.6GHz), but I don't really know if the difference is meaningfully positive or negative.

Anyone out there have any advise for me?

Thanks in advance

Core i7 trumps the Core 2 Duo any day. Core i7 is a QUAD Core and even though the clocks looks very low, don't let it fool you. The i7 doesn't need high clocks to trump the Core 2. It's whole architecture is so new that it simply trumps every out there. Also the Core i7 self-overclocks during gaming to 2.8 GHz I believe. Basically in conclusion go for the Core i7 NAOW!

Cool thanks for the feedback ... I wish they had just said "quad core" in the advertising!



I assume the graphics card is an upgrade as well?

Yea the nVidia GT240M is noticeably better than your 8600M GT due to the fact that it runs cooler, has higher memory and core clocks. and has 16 more Unified Pipelines to work with than the 8600M GT.

Thank you very much for the help Strike. I really appreciate it!
