    Hey guys

    I have an option to swap my E6400 for a brand new E5430. Should I do it? Below is a quick summary of the machines in questions.
    The E6400 has been sparsely used, it was more of a 'backup' machine. I only use it to surf the web and watch movies occasionally. It's pretty much in pristine condition.

    Any opinions?

    The processor is A LOT better. If everything being the same that you don't mind, yeah go for it for sure.

    If you care about specs, you should do it. If you care about things like build quality... well, I'd try to handle the E5430 first.
