True. 8730 just has lower power consumption. Thats it

yes. all cpus mentioned there are dual core including corei7. They have increased the RAM. This will be OK for non gamers.

I wonder why DELL is providing dozen CPU options. It's too confusing to read them.

None of you noticed it, the CPUs are i3/i5/i7xxxxU, that means ULV(ultra low voltage), they perform anywhere between 30-50% slower than their normal(i3/i5/i7xxxxM), counterparts, so for the price, the CPU are POS.

In the display section they have mentioned ICC. both NON ICC and ICC are listed. Is there any difference between them?

Its actually display profiles, has to do with color reproduction on the screen.

If you're not a graphic artist, it doesn't matter, you could tune it anyway.

a silly question:
like ULV stands for ultra low voltage,
what does "M" stands for?
