I thought I'd a CPU performance comparison between some of the laptop models we're discussing here. Based on CPU Benchmakrs' High End CPUs list[1]: - Intel® Core™ i7-4700MQ (common on many[2] desktop replacement laptops) scores 7,949 - Intel® Core™ i7-4650U (MacBook Air i7) scores 4,442 - Intel® Core™ i7-4750HQ (Galago UltraPro) scores 4,185 - Intel® Core™ i7-3537U (higher-end Lenovo posted above) scores 3,885 - Intel® Core™ i5-4250U (MacBook Air i5) scores 3,572 [1] http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html [2] The system76 Gazelle Professional uses this. So do many gaming laptops (like the Sager/Clevo, which system76 is based on) and this Toshiba Qosmio (http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/cdetland.to?poid=2000098978&src=ANEM&cm_mmc=SF_Pricegrabber&utm_source=PriceGrabber&utm_medium=feeds&CA_6C15C=400007100000000290 http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/cdetland.to?poid=2000098...).
