This laptop is dying slowly, so I'm looking at getting a new one.
Because I'm not sure I want to just throw money at it (and I'm not in contract at the moment), I'm torn between two options.
Intel Ivy Bridge i7-3820QM with 8GB RAM
or
Intel Sandy Bridge i7-2640M with 16GB RAM
The price difference isn't too much and the rest of the spec is pretty much the same because it's a custom build machine.
Just not sure whether I should go for the quad core but lower memory or dual core with more. I'm not prepared to go for the quad core and 16GB because then I start putting stupid things in the machine and end up looking at £1600 for a new laptop, which isn't what I want to spend by a long shot.
So - which one?
