I guess I am out of the laptop loop. Not too far out but technology has moved so fast since my last purchase that I figured I would get some advise from yall.
Currently I have a Sony Vaio and I love it. Its my second Sony and I havent had a problem with either (until this one started having charger port problems).
The problem is that I prefer to stay with Windows 7 (am I crazy for thinking this way?) My current laptop is a 15.5" i5 with 250 SSD. I honestly dont think I could go back to a conventional HD after being spoiled with the SSD.
Couple of questions:
Can you put a SSD in any newer laptop?
What are the top rated laptop brands now days?
Most of my work is with the Adobe Suite and trolling the CSC Ive heard that the i7 is a better processor (thats what I run on the big PC at the shop). Maybe someone can go into a little detail about hyper threading? Supposedly that is the difference between i5 and i7. Or does it even matter with the newer processors?
Edit: Maybe the i3 and the i7 have hyper threading but the i5 doesnt?
Throw me what you got!
