hi Carlos, While power users can probably benefit more from an ssd, the speed gains in day to day tasks make it worth purchasing for an average user. Things like app uninstall/install times, program l

hi gene, It most definitely takes longer to open browsers than 2-3 seconds. On an ssd, a browser is up and running in 1-3 seconds. Whereas, the same operation on a mechanical harddrive takes between 1

hi, I have a 2014 model laptop with a intel core i5 4200 m processor. I believe that counts as reasonably modern.

you can say that again. In turkey, the entry level model starts at around 5500 turkish liras. With that money, you can buy two performance model laptops.

completely agree with you Gene. Take my example for example. The entry level macbook, without the touch bar, costs around 5500 turkish liras. With that money, you could buy two performance class noteb

hi, That is a very very good laptop! Keep in mind though that a desktop processor is not equivalent to a laptop processor. That desktop processor even from 6 years ago will be significantly faster tha

hi, Desktop processors draw more power and have more cores. For this reason, they are much faster than their laptop counterparts even with a lower clock.

hi, are you sure it has a quad core? From what I can see, it has an i7 7500 U processor, which is definitely a dual core processor. my source is: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Dell-XPS-13-9360-QHD-i7-7

hi, The two model options I saw are with the i5 7200u and i7 7500 u both of which are dual core. And true, the 7500 u runs at 3.5 ghz. It is surprising that many manufacturers are bundling ultra low v

hi That is nice. Make sure to check the processor when you get it though.

hi, The Q stands for quad core and the H stands for hd intigrated graphics.

hi, Laptops with a Q processor are quad core.

hi, Don't take virtual cores into account when counting the cores. True quad cores have 8 virtual cores and 4 physical cores. All laptops (even I3 laptops,) have dual core processors with 4 virtual co

hi, There is also the i5 6300 hq which is also quad core. Also, keep in mind that you can replace the ram and hdd. I would take a quad core processor over faster ram and harddrive. I can replace the b

hi, quad core processors have been available at least since the first gen i7 processors became availabe. I remember in 2010 when purchasing a laptop I had a quad core option.

hi, here is a link to a processor from 2010. https://ark.intel.com/products/49024/Intel-Core-i7-740QM-Processor-6M-cache-1_73-GHz

hi, you have a ultra low voltage U processor as I guessed. If you had had a quad core processor, you would see 8 processors under device manager.

hi, This is incorrect. The hyperthreaded processors also appear under device manager.

hi, They certainly deceived him. They should not have said quad core. When they say quad core, they always mean 4 physical cores.

of course this is your opinion. I personally, would never buy an underpowered, slow, inadequate, anemic, and cheap I3 processor of any type if I could scrape up enough money to get at least an i5. The
