    Hi. I was about to buy a 4810T when i read that its single core CPU (SU3500) wont play 1080p videos.


    Today I have found a 4810TZ model for only £40 more than 4810T.
    It is preinstaled with W7 and has a dual core CPU SU4100 - 2MB L2-Cache


    Comparision of both processors Compare Intel® Products


    Can you please tell me if SU4100 is worth the exta £40?
    Will it be better for multitasking and will it play 1080p videos?

    I remember my 5810tz with an su2700 was able to play 1080p (not youtube.) I currently have a 3810tz with an su4100. I'll download a 1080p and give you a definite answer (even though im 99.99999% sure it'll play 1080p with no problem)

    Can you check if your 3810tz will play a 1080p video from youtube?

    So same as SU3500.


    Do you think SU4100 is actualy faster than SU3500?
    Will it be better for multitasking? (I tend to have lots of tabs open)

    Other than that SU3500 has virtualisation and uses less power.

    Yes! The Core 2 Solo SU3500 may have virtualization, but it's a single-core CPU. That's also why it uses less power.
    The Pentium SU4100 is a dual-core, and thus better for multi-tasking despite being 100 MHz slower.

    In regards to having lots of tabs open, I'd ensure that whatever machine you get has lots of RAM. The more tabs open, the more RAM you need.

    Hahahaha the store that offers 4810TZ for only £40 is a JOKE.

    Scammers declined my order straight away.


    Seams like i will be getting 4810T after all.
