I am looking at laptops and am interested to hear opinions on the balance of systems. As an example..

Laptop 1:

15.6' Full HD IPS screen

i3-3120M 2.5GHz 3MB (2C/4T)

8GB 1600MHz DDR3 RAM (2x4GB)

HD4000 graphics

500GB Momentus 5400rpm 64MB cache SSHDD

plus wireless, bluetooth, card reader, CD/DVD drive, battery etc...

 

Laptop 2:

15.6' TFT LCD screen (1366x768)

i7-3632QM 2.2GHz 6MB (4C/8T)

8GB DDR3 RAM

HD4000 graphics

750GB 5400rpm HDD

plus wireless, bluetooth, card reader, CD/DVD drive, battery etc...

 

Both laptops come in at around £550 ($860 US/$880 CA). Is the first laptop balanced better than the second? 

 

 

Are you not entertained!?

Both laptops are nice. But if they're around the same price, I'd go with the second one, unless you really want the IPS display. What's the resolution of the first laptop?

P.S. it's " not '. The latter denotes foot, while the former denotes inches.
