HP Core i5 vs. HP Core i7 Laptops

Now, let’s do a brief comparison between core i5 and core i7 laptops.

Let’s start with the similarities, both processors have 4 cores (quad-core) and both come with the the Turbo Boost feature, which enhances performance beyond what is seemingly obtainable.

Now to the differences, core i7 processors come with the hyperthreading feature, which forces applications to run more quickly and maintains optimal performance when multiple applications are running at a time. Core i5 processors lack this feature. In addition, core i5 processors pack 6MB of cache space, as against the 8MB available on core i7 processors. Also worthy of note is the fact that Core i7 processors are expectably more expensive than Core i5 processors and consume slightly more power, especially when they’re working at full capacity.

Note that we didn’t get even close to exhausting the list of similarities and differences between both processor types. And that’s to avoid boring you with details you might not necessarily need.

Where to get HP Core i5 and i7 laptops in Nigeria

While you have the option of going to the nearest computer or electronics store to get your HP laptop, you’d be better off by ordering it online. And that’s because you’re more than likely to get the cheapest prices on online stores like Jumia and Konga. You wonder why?

The reason is that Jumia and Konga are not stores themselves; they are just marketplaces that allow people to display their products for sale and then handle the transactions and shipping for them. And because there are many laptop sellers on these platforms, there is a stiff competition on price. After all, the sellers themselves are aware that the average Nigerian will opt for the cheapest offer available. From experience, I’ve found that laptops are cheaper on these online platforms than in stores in Computer Village.

If you think buying online is risky, then you’re wrong. You have the option to pay on delivery only after you’ve received the product you ordered for. But if for any reason you’re still not comfortable with buying your HP laptop online, walk into the nearest local store and get it. The most important thing is for you to get exactly what you want.
