Thanks all for your answers. Indeed 4h Gen i5 would be better. But the laptops with 4th gen i5 processor are around 30% costlier than 5th i3 (just a rough data). Does 4th gen i5 really worth the extra bucks we pay for it? How better it is with compared to 5th gen i3 in terms of performance? Any brief % figure?
FYI, I spend more time in laptop for day2day IT development work, little bit movies, music, and occasionally PC games.
 
Solution
they are all dual cores. i5 have turbo boost, a little higher freq.
30% more? don't know, probably not worth it. but you can NOT upgrade the cpu.

Currently I am checking Dell Inspiron 15 3000 Series laptops...Also, in general I am comparing between i3-5005U 5th gen processor and i5-4210U/5200U. Both of these processors are present in Dell Inspiron 15 3000 series laptops with difference in price.
