    Aim for an SSD + i3 instead. ULV i5's are basically i3's anyway, with the ability to turboboost to higher speeds if required (casual browsing, media, office work, etc will not need this). An SSD will make a huge difference versus a normal hard drive, will boot in about a third of the time and be much more responsive.

    so you would say this is better, it has 2.4ghz compared to the 2.5ghz, also i3 then i5, but it has SSD.

    Be careful when ordering outside of Ireland/UK as the keyboard layout can vary significantly.
