So obviously you want to get as much RAM and Storage out of your budget. RAM and Storage technology have come a long way and now they have a tremendous impact on performance. Let’s not forget that high performance isn’t all down to the processor. “Do I REALLY need either for the games and software I run?” “Is a Core i5 11300H that much better than 10300H? Should I really pay an extra 100$ for the former?”Īnd even better question that will save you tons of money is: Is trying to figure out performance by their nomenclature. We’ll go over very specific laptops with this issue soon. Most core i5 laptops do not come with a dedicated graphics card (which is not required to do the above BUT will surely speed up performance and increase graphics quality tremendously ).Īnd yet you’ll find models with a dedicated GPU for the exact same price. In fact, the chances of you overpaying for a laptop or not getting your money’s worth is pretty high because the market is saturated with Core i5 laptops. What’s more, the latest 11th and 12th generation Core i5 laptops, will even let you launch 3D Modeling software like AutoCAD & Solidworks without the need of a dedicated GPU.įinding the most budget friendly Core i5 laptop can take several days. You can even throw in some heavy duty Photo and Video editing with PhotoShop & Adobe Premiere.

So you’ve figured out that Intel Core i5 laptops CPUs are the MOST BUDGET FRIENDLY yet HIGH PERFORMANCE processors out of the entire line of the Intel Core series.Ī relatively recent Core i5 laptop can run AAA games like Call of Duty, OverWatch and World of Warcrat.
