[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 249895, member: 9521"] You make a good point. My current desktop has the older i7 3770 along with a 32GB SSD and it just rips through my 7 exposure HDR's and large panoramas taken with my D800. So maybe I should lean towards the faster of the two chips. Btw, computer #1 is a Dell Inspiron 7000 and #2 is a Lenovo z710. I've a lot of experience with Dell's but know next to nothing about Lenovo's, hence the reason I'm struggling with the choice. Had the chip arrangement been the other way I would automatically go with the Dell just out of habit. Also, the Dell has a touch screen while the Lenovo does not. And looking more closely at potential Dell computers, there's an XPS model with QHD screen (3200 x 1800) and using an Intel i7 4707HQ that may be a better choice overall (but runs a good $700 more). The only thing about the XPS that I don't like is the 15.3" screen. I wish it were a 17.3" screen, they work so much better with 3 x 4 images. [/QUOTE]
