    What the hell!?
    Deal 1 is a bit more money, but has twise as much RAM as the 2nd. But the processor worse than the first. If you can, try and take advantage of the extra RAM as it'll come in handy if your using Photoshop and the like. And have a look if you can upgrade the processor to match the 2.7GHz.

    CapzMC if you're gonna reccomend tech stuff, at least tell the person your logic behind the decision...

    Just commenting here that @williamthegreat actually knows his stuff so you should trust him and isn't randy (well he's still a randy, but a randy that's good with computers)

    i5s are i7s are literally no different from eachother;
    and i7 just has hyper threading, when the hyper threading fails on a i7, they rebrand it as in i5, just saying lol.

    Thanks for standing up for me! I'm bit of a randy but was very active on the tech section of the MCPVP forum.
