So I'm planning on buying a laptop to replace my desktop (in sig). I'm focussing on ASUS as they have been good to me in the past and are considered some of the better laptop makers.
Anyhoo, I am looking at the 16 inch variety. So I;m looking at two one, with a the Q9000 and one with the Core i7 720. Obviously, the i7 is faster, but the Q9000 is less expensive and the rest of the specs are better (and still pretty fast).
My question is, will the Q9000 still be viable in 3 - 4 years? Do I really need to pay the extra $300 - $350 for the i7?
I will be using this for work and play, some gaming, but nothing too strenuous...
Thanks for any help!
