Thanks for your input Tom, I think i will go with the i5 with the higher clock speed, and save the i7 for when i can afford a real computer for fsx or flight. I just want to fly the vrs superbug, which my current laptop can't.

I am buying a new laptop for fs9 mostly. i have two laptops in mind, one with an i5-520m another with i7-740qm, and knowing that fs9 runs on a single core, cant decide which one is better for fs9. I would like to know which one can run the sliders maxed out at 20+fps in intensive areas? Because the i5 has higher clock speeds, i am leaning towards it, but i can get a better overall deal on the laptop with an i7.Thanks,Ferras
