Hi guys, I´m on holidays in Switzerland and I was thinking of taking an used laptop. I won´t play any games, but i would like to do some photo and play some HD videos :D I saw two offers which seem really good machines but I don´t know which one would be better: there is offcourse the processor choice. I don´t know which one would be better between i7 2670qm or i5 3380M. What you guys think ?? THX

my budget is max max 280 Franc Suisse. There are some other machines but I think this 2 are the best ones. http://www.anibis.ch/fr/ordinateurs-~-bureau-portables,-netbooks-~-macbooks-portables--1935/advertlist.aspx?loc=lausanne&sdc=30&ps=60&sf=pri&so=d&p=3

 
Solution
I7 is a quad core; i5 is a 2 core. The i5 has better single threaded performance due to its clock speeds; the i7 will blow it away once you get all 4 cores involved (photo/video editing)

The ram is not a problem, I have a lot of DDR3 laying around. I just don't know if the i7 2gen is weaker than the i5 3gen. The storage is als well not a problem giving I have a 500gb SSD at home
