Since i spilled coffee on mine a few years ago, i havent found that sweet spot I'm looking for in any of the laptops I've had since. I might have settled on the intel core i3 onoy because of the extra quazi-RAM in the form of optanre. They also have the core i5s with 8gb of rambut for a hundred bucka more so it might not be so mucb of a better performer than the i3 and virtual 20 gb ram.... I will report back next week how my decision has fared.
