We'd normally expect machines at this price point, such as the Samsung Q330 and Packard Bell EasyNote NM86, to feature Intel's entry-level Core i3 processor. It's powerful, but can't compete with the speed of the Core i5 range. On the flip side, Core i5 laptops tend also offer a more rounded experience overall to go along with their higher price tag. Check out the Acer Aspire TimelineX 4820TG and Samsung R590 as good examples of this principle.
