[筆記本電腦] Good time to Upgrade from i5 U470 to i7 3520M?

Hi Brothers,

I just want to know is it a good time to change from i5 notebook to i7 notebook now. Currently using:

Lenovo ideapad U160
CPU Intel i5 U470 @1.33GHz
8 GB RAM @ 1333
500 GB @ 7200
Win 7 Home Prem
11.6" LCD
3 x 2.0 USB

I'm thinking to change to

Lenovo ThinkPad X230
CPU Intel i7 3520N @2.9GHz
8 GB RAM @ 1600
500 GB @ 7200
Win 7 Home Prem
12.5" LCD
2 x 3.0 USB + 1 x 2.0 USB

As I have limited budget. Please give me some advise is it a good time to change the notebook.

THANKS!!

your current cpu is old-fashioned, so making changes will be a good suggestion.
but i wont suggest I-7, as it do not have a huge differences when compare with I-5, well it also depends on your personal usage, like gaming or media rendering. Thus, I-7 is costly.
So I suggest an Ivy-Bridge I-5 is already good enough, and the price level will be around 5K-6K HKD.

depends what's new comp is for...you may still prefer an i7 if you do graphic related stuffs..
if you have limited budget, don't go for ThinkPad. other brands could offer lower price with same spec
However, I must say ThinkPad really worth it for its stability and reliability.
