I am about to order a new HP pavilion dv6tse for college. I am stuck on which processor to get. I don't really know anything about computers so I don't know which one will make my laptop perform better or how each will affect my battery life.
-Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-540M Dual Core processor (2.53GHz, 3MB L3 Cache) with Turbo Boost up to 3.06GHz
or for $50 more, get this
-Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-720QM Quad Core processor (1.6GHz, 6MB L3 Cache) with Turbo Boost up to 2.8 GHz
It will really cost me $125 more because I need to upgrade to a 1gb graphics card if I go with the i7, but that doesn't bother me.
