the m3 and the i5 both have the same recommended price from intels website... kind of odd

I really hope no one goes with a 900mhz cpu instead of paying another $100.

The m3 is fanless so one reason to go for will be that and better battery life.

my problem with the m3 is that it only has 4gb of ram and 128gb of storage. I will be getting a Pro 4 but I will have to get a i5 so i can get 8gb of ram and 256gb of storeage. If the m3 had that I might of looked at that as a option.
