Hi, I'm trying to figure out the difference between the i5 and i7 laptops, this is my first even time buying a laptop, I always have used desktops that I have built. I'm not sure how hyperthreading is on the i5 or i7 if the i5 even has it or not, someone told me the i5 works like a i3 for desktop just more powerful. I have 16 gigs of sodimm memory ready to be installed, I do security work so I run a lot of vm's at once for my linux and windows 7/servers. My boss said they would pay the full price of it up to $500 but if the i7 is way better I might add another $200 of my own. The only thing I don't have to much use for is a strong video card, I use some gpu based stuff, but I've noticed laptops normally lack at that so I just use my desktop for that.
