You are browsing within the review sections of our forums. Content within these sections reflect consumer opinions of laptops. Our admins take the best and most objective laptop reviews and index them here to create a distinct selection of quality reviews with averaged overall ratings. Many of these reviews have benchmarks attached to them which allows for users to compare their laptop's performance with others, and ultimately enables us to provide a sortable list which at a glance show the fastest laptops amongst a variety of applications (gaming, video editing, web browsing, etc...). Help us build a better laptop database by submitting your laptop review.

What you misunderstand is how your application benefits from i7. Turbo boost only helps if your application cannot benefit from the additional cores found in an i7 cpu in this case 4 cpus. If a game or application needs only 2 then your wasting the benefit of 2 additional cores. Turbo boost steps in by ramping up clock speed on the cores the app does utilize for example if a game uses only 2 cores then TB will then turn off 2 of the 4 cores and ramp up the 2 remaining cores to as high as the thermal threshold and power allotment will allow in this case for the i720qm 2.4ghz at 2 cores.
