RAM 16 GB DDR3
Graphics card NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M
Storage 1 TB HDD, 5400 rpm

2nd PC
4th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-4510U Processor (4M Cache, up to 3.0 GHz)

the 4702 seems the best buy

benchmarks for the 4702 are nearly double the 4510 as well

assuming of course you want a power platform over a power saver!!

The first one by a country mile as it is quad core, not dual core, but make sure you have an SSD for your system drive. Spinny system drives are intolerable. I've never tried a hybrid.

Just so you know what all the letters mean.

If it is a desktop machine I would be looking for an S Variant.

I am guessing though that you are looking at laptops. If so the QM is better.

The first thing I would do if I were to buy either of these though is to swap out the hard disk for an SDD. Faster and longer battery life.

Interesting read. So it wasn't as clear cut as I thought. The first one is still almost twice as fast, but if you would prefer to go ages on battery and don't care about performance, then the second one becomes more attractive.

I don't bother too much about large HD on a desktop as I always keep all files on external drives (important ones duplicated or triplicated on separate drives.). The built in HDD is just used for the OS and any other bits that have to be installed there.
