I'm in a dilemma to choose between Intel Core i3 and Core i5 CPUs. I'll be using Microsoft Office along with some browsing and some other general purpose activities.
Will I be seeing a big difference if I choose i5 instead i3?
The reason I am asking this because there is a great difference in costs of both and also I have used one laptop with Core i3(1st gen) 4GB RAM for same puposes but it hangs alot.
Asking this question again as none of the previous questions seems to be satisfactory. Please help!
PS: Planning to buy a new machine and will be running Windows 7 on it. Cost not a big issue but still why I should spend more if the need of hour doesn't demands that.
Also the new machine I am planning to buy will either sport a 4th Gen Core i3 (4010U) or 4th GenCore i5 (4210U).
Cant see much difference amongst i5 and i3 (Link). Only difference I could locate is i5 have functionality of turbo boost but that comes in picture only when I am supposedly doing any multi-tasking with some heavy operations like gaming or other graphics related.
