I'm buying a medium standard gaming laptop because I need lappy for work but I want it for recreational use too. I don't need an alienware goliath machine.. just something capable of running games reasonably well. Are the following differences worth the price changes?
Intel® Core(TM) i3 Processor [ - £ 50.0] Processor i3-330M (2.13 GHz) with 3 MB L2/L3 Cache
Intel® Core(TM) i5 Processor Processor i5-430M (2.26 Ghz) with 3 MB L2/L3 Cache
Intel® CoreTM i5 Processor [ + £ 50.0] Processor i5-520M (2.40 GHz) with 3 MB L2/L3 Cache
Is the i5-430M that much better than the i3 and would the i5-520M be worth the upgrade?

or

I'm assuming this is totally worth the extra £50...?

HD not worth it if not getting a blu ray player in the laptop? Is a blue ray player even worth it?
