So I have left the Tablet path wasn't suiting my lifestyle and now have decided to head back to the sub 14" Laptop path I wanted to know. How vast a difference (if any) in power are these CPU i3 2357m vs i5 U470? Looking on both of them in sub 14" Laptops.

Here u go

As u can see i5 U470 is faster but its gpu is weak compared to i3 2357m.So I would lean towards the i3 2357m

This is kinda disturbing http://ark.intel.com/compare/49664,54624 why does the i3 still have several specs over the i7?

It's a lot newer.

But its an i7 this is so wrong **sniff sniff**

How is it that your tablet isn't suiting your lifestyle that a notebook will do better?

What are you looking for? What kind of work will you be doing on it?

I actually enjoyed that little 11" Lappy that I had, I'm an IT Technician so it made it easy to balance pleasure and work so I would be on FB, checking mail, reading my manga and while also RDP, scanning a jump drive messing with virtual machines etc.... if I had the money I would keep both of them but I can't so I'm going back to the Laptop there were certain little things it may not bother some people but the little things add up for me e.g. I would be on FB and have 6 or so chat windows up seeing several conversations simultaneously while on the Tablet I could only actively view on, I would go on youtube website and run my playlist I can't do that on the Tablet there are some other little things but I can't recall at the moment
