hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iwant to buy a laptop ................... ur introducing new i3- processor so iwant to know full details about it................. please send the details of it to my email id ok...........
I picked up a Toshiba Satellite L500 sporting the new Intel Core i3 the morning of Jan 2, 2010 from Future Shop. The Windows Experience Index for the processor is sitting at 6.2 but the i3's integrated GPU, (the laptop's slowest component) limits the L500 to a base WEI score of 4.6. Still... it flys quite smartly. Unfortunately, unless you are Andre the Giant, the keyboard is almost completely useless.
