Since we got HT back in the i5, I would want that.
What's strange is the drop in RPM on the drive. This rarely costs a dollar so you can level the playing field on that.
This leaves the graphics card. But no mention of gaming so no reason to change that.
As to touch screen, that's highly over rated. Long discussions so I won't repeat that.

Hi all,
I am a newbie here just trying to get some guidance on which one of two dell laptop's would produce the better performance and speed. I am struggling to decide between a studio 15 and studio 17 laptop mainly due to the varying processors on offer. I am told that the new i5 processor available in the studio 15 is very good, but I have spec'd a seemingly better laptop (studio 17) for about
