I am thinking of going from a HP EliteBook 8730W to a HP ENVY 17-j120us Notebook. The CPU seems far better Intel Core2 Duo CPU T9600 @ 2.80GHz VS Intel Core i7 4700MQ (2.40GHz), but then again both are Sata II, frustrating.

Here's the Passmark benchmark scores for those processors:

T9600: 1963

4700MQ: 7927

That's a major difference, undoubtedly noticeable for most purposes.

Here's the Passmark video card benchmarks:

Radeon HD 3670: 254

HD Graphics 4400: 530

I'm not sure how noticeable that difference would be and I don't know what degree of graphics performance you need.

This omits cost, screen size, reliability, and whatever other things are important to you.

Isn't C2D too much older for a Core i7?
