Default Re: Recommend me a good coding laptop

Yours is 3M cache dual core supporting only 1333 RAM 2nd gen
Dell is 6M cache QUAD supporting 1600 RAM 3rd gen (lower power consumption overall, smaller architecture aka more transistors on chip.)

Def check out my links on the Sager setup. You can get i7 quad with 16gb 1600MHZ RAM 512GB SSD with integrated video for like 1300. p good deal.

Also, Intel should be releasing the next gen of CPUs in or around this July. Might be worth the wait ^_^

Compared to Ivy Bridge (expected):

Twice the vector processing performance.
At least 10% sequential CPU performance increase (8 execution ports per core versus 6).
Up to double the performance of the integrated GPU. (Haswell GT3 vs Ivy Bridge HD4000)
