Pros, Cons?

Intel Core i5 dual core 2.4 ghz vs Intel Core i7 dual core 2.8 ghz?

Is there whole world of difference between the two?

Does this difference justify the price difference?

Depends on what you're doing.

What RAM does each have? Video card? Sound?

The GPU is important so you can play some BF3 with us.

I have a Asus Intel I5 core GT540M graphics card 6gb ram laptop. It run bf3 on medium settings though sometimes I have a few lagging issues. Though this laptop is awesome and I love it. Asus make really good gaming laptops.

I personally would probably go with the I7.

mmmm well shit...I went with the i5 ...the difference in processor speeds was not that much. They were both dual core, the i5 was 2.6 ghz and the i7 was 2.8 ghz. The rest was basically the same..the vid card is 384 mb.
