    Uh, where did you hear that? Maybe that was true in the old days, but not now. I always turn my computers off when I'm not around. Leaving the computer on puts more wear and tear on the system. Hard...

    You'd need to get their adapter or something similar.

    Between those two choices, definitely get the i5 with 8GB.

    AMD systems tend to be cheaper, but I'm an Intel guy from way back.

    You can look up the specs for the different CPUs here:

    Dell has a lot of refurbs because they sell a lot of computers.
