Hello guys!
I am planning to buy a laptop in near future.
My present laptop in Lenovo Z570 (Intel i3 2nd Generation clocked at 2.10 GHz, Switchable Graphics[nVidia/Intel]).
I purchased this @ 2011 and it has handled some real hot stuff for me (I am quite grateful to this piece of machinery). I've run 2 Android Emulators on this (side by side), Android Studio, Visual Studio, RAD Studio, and Web Dev S/W like Php Storm, WebStorm.
At times the CPU Usage went up to as high as 100% and laptop heat was enough to make a cup of coffee!
I did some research on the processors for laptops and to be very honest, I am kinda disappointed with the pricing of i7 laptops (i7-s with 4 Physical and 4-Logical Cores).
My desktop rig, (i7-4700 3.4 GHz) costs Rs : 53K. In the same price I seem to get an i7 laptop with 2 Cores which is kinda disappointing.
Now, Comparing i3 an i5 was equally disappointing.
i3 : 2 Physical Cores, 2 Logical Cores. (No Turbo Boost)
i5 : 4 Physical Cores. (Turbo Boost)
Q) Speed difference : Not quite sure, how significant the speed difference is going to be given my line of work. (This remains a question for you guys).
Checking the AMD line up :
A8 And A10 : Have no idea about their performance. (Need some information).
Q) How does, the Intel (i3 and i5) stack up against (A8, A10) ?
Q) Now, the final question, is it worthwhile to invest around 55K for a dual core i7 ?
Please consider full fledged software development task as a daily routine for the laptop.
