Hi all,
I'm finally replacing my workhorse laptop (6th gen i5, 16GB RAM), at the moment I've temporarily got a Dell 3320 with an i3-1125g4 and it seems pretty decent. I've now got the chance to swap it for a Dynabook with a i5-1135g7 (rest of the specs are pretty much identical, 1TB SSD, 8GB RAM). So I thought that would be a no brainer but having looked up CPU benchmark and a load of other websites the i5 hardly seems to be any better at all and worth the bother of swapping laptops again.
The laptop is kept in my work bag and only used for that so absolutely no gaming. It's mainly browsing, emails, RDP and fairly regularly I need to manage and manipulate very large quantities of files within Windows Explorer (60k) so heavy on file copies, read / writes etc....
So what's the deal, should I just stick with the Dell 3320 as the i5 CPU hardly looks any better? Am I missing something obvious?
