HP Laptops. i5 and i7 5th gen.

[ChandanaVC]

Hi!!!

I am very glad I could find this forum very helpful! While most of my doubts are already cleared,
Here is one thing I don't know.

I want to buy a laptop within 70k . I am a 3rd year electronics engg student who wishes to pursue an MS in Signal processing . I am assuming I may need i7,but if i5 is enough,please put in ur views.


Keeping in mind that I will need the laptop to suffice for my needs till I finish my PG, can u guys suggest any HP laptop ?
I saw this laptop-HP AB035TX , but there are not any reviews online. I wonder why, seriously.

Can u all help me decide whether this is good or suggest any device (in HP only)with similar configs. Thanks!!

Almost all (Intel) laptop CPUs are dual core (unless you get an i7 ending in HQ, in which case it'll be quad core with 6MB cache). Both the mobile i5 and i7 CPUs have HyperThreading, so the main difference is 3MB vs 4MB cache, and any clock speed differences.
