Vostro - Inspiron differences?
Wondering what the differences are between the Vostro and Inspiron lines? Looking at a Vostro 3000 14" w/4th gen Pentium i3, 4gb RAM, 500gb HD and Windows 7 Pro @ $499 vs an Inspiron 3000 14" w/Pentium N3700, 4gb RAM, 500gb HD and Windows 10 Home @ $329. Not sure where the $170 price diff is. Can someone enlighten me? Thanks.
Thanks. I get the Pro - Home price diff. And, I'm fine with Home. I also understand the i3 is faster. I thought the N3700 would be fast enough for almost no multitasking. But, I have a Dell Mini 12 with an Atom, and it's unbelievably slow. I don't want to duplicate the slowness of the Mini 12. If the N3700 is faster than the Atom, and as quick as a Pentium of a few years ago, I should be okay.

Pro OS vs. home is already a $50-100 difference -- the i3 CPU is also faster than the N3700, which is more of a tablet CPU than a true PC CPU.
Cut the Vostro back to a Celeron CPU (more akin to the N3700) and the price drops to $329. That's more of an apples-to-apples comparison.
