I was thinking if I should get a P processor or T processor. Am getting the laptop tomorrow.
Heard that the performance of a P is better.
Laptop is used for 50% gaming, 50% surfing.

Laptop choice : Studio 14 or Inspiron (OPINION?)

Feel free to comment AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. Am currently doing a one last opinion check.

FYI, this laptop is mainly for surfing the net, video conferencing purpose and slight gaming.

Q and A :

1. Some of the users out there say 32 bit is better than 64 bit. but studio 14 only have 64 bits as option. Comment?
2. I'm planning to get the free trial McAfree while is included in the original price. Comment? Whether I should get the 15 or 24 months etc?
3. Does studio 14 get heat up easily (question for dell studio user)
4. ANYTHING U WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH ME REGARDING UR ENCOUNTER WITH THE STUDIO FEEL FREE TO COMMENT PLS. I WOULDNT WANT TO REGRET AFTER I GET IT. THANKS!

p/s : Really want to get the standard keyboard with the backlight. But the price is really starting to pile up. Haha!
