The CPU is one thing - the screen quality is another topic. The differences are EXTREME here.

I totally agree with Klaus: what is the use of a processor fast enough for photo processing, when the screen is completely inadequate to judge the results? My Dell laptop is fast enough (for me at least, even with an old Core 2 Duo T7500), but the screen is worthless for photo processing (or viewing, and no, calibration doesn't help...).
So if you want to use your laptop for processing photos without an external monitor, my advice would be to select one with a good screen, and just take any Core i processor that fits your budget.
