So you should not find any significant difference in surfing on the internet, MS-Word, Excel, playing movies. The difference will come when you plan to edit video from your digital camera. And here the Intel Core i5-430UM processor' turbo boost technology comes into play. The Turbo Boost technology will boost the processor frequency in i5-430M to 1.73 GHz when your video editing software will demand one. If you can live with slower video editing that do not do much often any way you may stick with i3 330UM and save few bucks. If the difference in prices are not much I will suggest upgrade to i5-430UM which will not only speed up the video editing, but also speed up the program loading ( especially if you are running several of them at a time).

The main difference between these model are the processors: Model 1: Intel Core i5-430UM Model 2: Intel Core i3 330UM I was wandering if I can experience notable difference between the Core I5 or Core I3 model ? I want to use the notebook mainly for surfing on the internet, MS-Word, Excel, playing movies and sometimes (not often) edit a video from my digital camera. Can the I5 make my notebook significly quicker for these taks ? Hello I would like to ask some advice

I question the reasoning for not offering "Onstar" on these vehicles. I think it is a safety feature too inexpensive to not have included. They do include it on the Acura, why not the Honda?
