Hey,
I wasn't really looking to get a new laptop until next year sometime, but I have just seen a really good deal (or at least I thought it was) for a Dell 15R - Inspiron 15R laptop.
However, I have two problems. Firstly, I have heard that the Inspiron 15R series are bad for overheating? Now I presume that model isn't affected by this since it only has an integrated graphics card. Does anybody know how likely an i5-3210M and Intel HD 4000 is to overheat?
Secondly, I wasn't sure whether it was worth £80 to move up from i3-3110M. I'm aware that the i3 doesn't have turbo boost but this laptop was more so something to get me by until university.
Any advice is welcomed,
Thanks, Will.
