    Hi, I am looking to buy one of the laptops listed in the title. Can anyone tell which is better? I know the 3820TG has better cooling, but with the 4820TG I can swap out the optical and put in an additional HDD (thus making the sow HDD it comes with useful when i swap it out for a SDD).

    also if I get a 3820TG it will most likely be with an i3 (since they are apparantly the only thing available in Canada) so how big is the difference between the i3's and i5's?

    I also want to overclock so please take that into consideration when you post replies.

    thanks in advance.
