HP Pavilion G7-1150us is powered by previous generation core i3-370M processor. It may come to your mind, with the availability of successors of this processor like core i3-380M or Sandy bridge i3, is it worth buying. One thing I would like to point in this regard is that there is no significant difference between core i3-370M and i3-380M processors. However, if you go for i3-2310M processor, you will get better graphics for sure, but that comes at extra price. If you are looking for a mobile computing solution for running applications like After Effects CS5 or similar application then you should go for core i5 or i5 Sandy bridge powered laptop like Toshiba Portege R835-P56x.
