i3-350M or i5-520M?? Is the performance worth the price difference?

4 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/i3-350m-or-i5-520m-is-the-performance-worth-the-price-difference.124466/

I would like to get a decent laptop that would hold up for about 3 years, need do only graphics designing, programming etc.

I have 2 selections dell studio 15 with i3-350M and the same with i5-540M. But there is about rs.8000 price difference between them. Is it worth it?

Or should i opt for i5-430 as it is only rs.3000 more than i3.

That's a question best answered by in house Intel experts. Ask them during the Intel Live Chat event on the 26th of Feb when they chat on Intel processors. Intel Live Chat
