No it's definitely marketing Intel know that the customer has a presumption based on the tier monikers i3,i5i7. I work as an IT refusbisher/seller I know how the customer thinks unfortunately.

Opps good spot, I didn't read that bit, 2x4GB it is.

good price but not good enough to make me get one, they're getting closer to a fair price tho, heat :sunglasses:

I was referring to the second part of your statement. The first part is kind of correct, it is not Intel's fault that customers can not work out simple model numbers/generations.

I think you know exactly what I mean and just wanted to be pedantic.

I guess you may have had your head in the sand and think Intel only make U series CPU's then?

It is not Intel's fault that most customers want U series CPU's, I think the demand for longer battery life is more than for quad core 45w parts.

Even though i have read a disappointing review i still might be tempted. http://ssd.userbenchmark.com/SanDisk-Ultra-II-960GB/Rating/3582 Or maybe i'll wait until something better comes along at a similar price.

You should have highlighted the 8GB Max. Just to avoid any confusion. But if the mobo only supoorts upto 8GB, then i would use 2x4GB. Not saying you should, but best use of Dual Channel support i think.

Only if ...!!

Tempted!

Thanks OP

Does anyone know whether this will work in my Dell inspiron N5010 i5 laptop?

If we vote out you'd better buy PDQ before the £ really takes a battering!
The long term benefits of being in or out are debatable, but in the short term we'd likely see a significant dip against the $, because if there's one thing the currency market doesn't like it is instability, or even any possibility of it!
Even if we did end up doing better out of leaving in the long term, it seems very likely that there would be a short term (up to a year) and possibly even medium term (few years) hit in currency value.

Can I ask a stupid question also.

So I've been out of the desktop scene for a good while, been using laptops.

For me 2.5" drive = laptop drive. 2.5" drive now though will fit perfectly find in a desktop case won;t it?

I mean it's normal to use these in desktops nowadays?

FWIW I have bought a Fractal Design R5 case.

Ordered, thanks OP

Hmm, will Amazon match this? also Scan are on as a marketplace seller. I have some vouchers and this looks like a good price.

Dont shop till after the vote, as the paund is being battered, and we dont make memory or nand or cpus or any other computer doodads

Decent price, let's hope it drops further.

The price drops of these make me react like Azrael when Butch lifted up his bazooka! :laughing:

Thank you :smiley:

​Hdd to ssd is the biggest possible upgrade for the average user your pc / laptop will literally be 2 or 3x faster booting and opening stuff

​Thanks for your input. so do you think this will make much difference to its current performance?

​Thank you very much for your input. so buying this ssd..do you think it will make a huge difference to the hard drive it came with?

i5 means nothing, it's just a marketing term, and it fools most consumers so that's why Intel use it, there's so much variation in the performance of all the i5 CPUs that have been made, it means nothing, even i7 means nothing now on laptops, it used to mean high end quad core, now it means pretty much the same as i3 and i5 which is dual core low power usage, good battery life, very average CPU performance.

The above paragraph is a grammatical catastrophe :smiley:

​Did it make much difference to you or for the money you spend, is it better buying a whole new laptop. p.s mine is an i5

​It only supports up to 8gb I'm afraid. so its either 1 X 8gb or 2 X 4gb

Not seen it this price since the amazon Christmas lightning deals

Good one thanks. I can't believe my account still has free delivery even though I haven't ordered anything from them in 5 years.

Excellent!

Also anyone know the best place to get memory as may as well do a full overhaul on it. and it is 8gb max. would you recommend 2 X 4gb or is one 8gb best?

awesome thanks! :smiley:
