Intel 6Y30 vs 6200U

[danielzy]

Hey guys, I'm about to purchase a new Asus ZenBook,
Both models got 256GB SSD with 8GB of RAM.
One is running 6Y30 and the other a 6200U.
Ofc the 6Y30 is significantly cheaper

My usage will basically be:
Web (mostly 720p and 1080p youtube)
Microsoft Office
Reading PDFs
Some League of Legends from time to time

I dont want to get a crappy processor just to save a few bucks but I really dont know what's the performance difference between the two...

Hi,

I would go for the i5 6200U based from its performance and better handling with loads if you're going to compare it with 6Y30.

Here's 6Y30 and i5 6200U technical specification for your reference.

If you are going to game at all, the i5 will be significantly faster, but for everything else it doesn't really matter. Interestingly enough, both should have the same battery life in low to mid level use.
