I just found out that my recently ordered dell does not have the CPU that dell claimed to have put in my laptop.

I ordered a refurbished inspiron 17r with a claimed i7 3630qm (2.4ghz) and they put a i7 3632qm (2.2ghz) in it.
Can i pursue any recompense? Or is it not worth the trouble.
 
Check the receipt, if it says that you should have gotten the 3632qm just give them a call and they shouldn't have any issues honoring it and getting you the proper CPU.
 
Intel made an addition to its performance mobile processor lineup, the Core i7-3632QM. Targeting performance notebooks in the $1200 range, the i7-3632QM is a quad-core chip based on the 22 nm "Ivy Bridge" silicon. It features HyperThreading, enabling eight logical CPUs. Surprisingly, the new chip comes with slightly lower clock speeds than the i7-3630QM, but a significantly lower TDP. While the i7-3630QM comes with 2.40 GHz core, 3.40 GHz Turbo Boost, and 45W TDP; the new i7-3632QM comes with 2.20 GHz core 3.20 GHz Turbo Boost, and 35W TDP: 8.5% lower clock speeds, resulting in 25% lower TDP.

I would probably keep the 3632 myself.
 
Oh. Didn't notice the power difference.
Guess i'll keep it to myself
 
Wow, you ended up getting a really expensive CPU... nice one :p
