Re: "I just wanted you to be aware that the processor you WANT stillonly operates at base speed at 2.8 Ghz and not 3.8 Ghz"Yeah, I was wrong when I wrote that. The mistake resulted from different product descriptions posted by the various stores: Micro Center described the i7-4810MQ system you found as being 2.8 Ghz; Amazon describes the i7-4900MQ system I'm buying as 3.8 Ghz. Amazon's ad is misleading if not dishonest.

I took the 2.8/3.8 Ghz variable speed of the processor into account when deciding to buy, btw. I'm confident the laptop will be fast enough. Even the laptop with the i7-4810MQ would have been fast enough, I suspect, but having decided on the faster machine, I'm not willing to back down to something slower.

Gotta run. I need to head into town and mail back the "new new" laptop. I'm also picking up a little wood for a small project I'll describe later. And I'm picking up some Peat, Per-Lite and fertilizer with which to make my own seed starter soil (at about 20% the cost of pre-mixed starter soil.)

Good morning De !

After a hard day of planting seedling starts for your food supply along with mrs. De, I am sure that you do not need this additional frustration and attempted scam.

What my intention for pointing out the specifications of theprocessor to you were, was that earlier you had mentioned that the 4900MQ CPU ran at 3.8 Ghz while the other was only at 2.8 Ghz.

That was incorrect. BOTH ran STOCK at 2.8 Ghz and could be run on Turbo at 3.8 Ghz .

As yo point out , the real differences are in the CACHE for processing.

I looked ahead on the Intel processor site at some newer generations of the I7 Mobile processors to see at whcich generation one needed to ne at in order to acheive 3.8 Ghz stock speed. Substantialy newer generation is the answer. I can't remember if it was Gen 6 but I think it was.

I just wanted you to be aware that the processor you WANT stillonly operates at base speed at 2.8 Ghz and not 3.8 Ghz, which is why I furnished the Intel webpage so you could see the full specs yourself.

I do hope that the supplier actually acts on your concerns and does a real live test and check of the CPU in system information.

Best wishes for a happyoutcome this time around! It's got to be aggravating....
