"Are i7 laptops better than i3 & i5 laptops?" A question I get a lot from guys wanting to get a new laptop/desktop. Well I hope this thread helps you in answering that question.

7 months with the Oraimo Freepods Pro and I can confidently say that these are among if not the best sub 5K earbuds you can buy locally.
Great battery life, I think I charge them thrice on average every month. The sound quality and ANC is great for the price.

Why on earth is the official page of the Chinese Embassy in Tanazania promoting the Huawei Pura 70?
The Huawei Pura 70 is a very durable phone.

Now let's look at the product line suffix of which can include either none, one or in some cases two letters. There are also cases where there's one letter and one number. Here are the most common suffixes for Intel laptop processors.

They also sell the i3 8100H which is a quad core processor that is significantly more powerful than the i7 8500Y and has much more powerful integrated graphics.

Generally yes, but it depends on specifically which i3, i5 and i7 you're comparing.
Let me give you an example of how confusing things can be:
Right now Intel sells the dual core i7 8500Y which is intended for ultrathin laptops.
3

213
Hope this helps. Intel's naming schemes can be extremely confusing so it's understandable that it's not easy to pick the right laptop sometimes. In general a higher number means better, but not always.

The i3 8100H is also cheaper than the i7 8500Y so a laptop with it will also be cheaper. So why is this? Well.. let me explain:
When looking at an Intel processor you can not look just at the letter and number i3, i5, i7 and i9.

Here's how a model name for an Intel Core processor is built up. The most important things to look at here are the generation indicator and the product line suffix.
1
25
140
In the case of the i3 8100H the generation indicator is 8, and the same for the i7 8500Y which means they're part of Intel's 8th generation of processors.

As can see “H” means that the processor has high performance graphics. Sometimes they throw on the “H” to just indicate that the processor pulls more power than let's say a “U” series processor.

So there's this laptop, only connects to specific WiFi networks, the office network to be specific. Tried hotspoting using my phone, connects to the mobile hotspot but there's no internet despite having data bundles.

Soil testing has come a long way. 15 - 20 minutes and you have your results.

The i3 8100H is a more “beefy” processor with a 45W TDP. This means that it's meant for more powerful, but thicker laptops. The H, and especially HK suffix i3, i5, i7 and i9 processors are usually found in bigger and thicker workstation laptops or gaming laptops.
1
20
102
But as you can see the Y series of which the i7 8500Y belongs is the “Extremely low power” series of mobile processors. This series has up until and including the 8th Gen been extremely power efficient dual cores with hyperthreading that can use as little as 5W of power.
2
18
100
This means significantly better battery life and it means it runs so cold that you can run the processor without a fan in an ultrathin chassis. 10th gen will for the first time bring some 4 core CPUs to the Y series.
1
16
97
The HQ appears sporadically and some quad core processors don't have the “Q” for some reason only Intel knows.
3
17
91
The U series up until 7th Gen were also two cores max, but now they now go up to 4 cores, and next year there's even talk of a 6 core. The TDP of the U series is usually 15W, so a little bit more than the Y series, but still fairly power efficient.

Got to play around with the Galaxy S24 Ultra and the first thing I noticed is how light the device is. That's thanks to its titanium design.
The S24 and S24 + are also very light despite not having titanium. The Circle to Search feature also works extremely well 🙌🏾

Well, the AMD APU A6 is a dual core grade CPU ( it only has 2 cores ) That's why it takes a lot of time booting up and running softwares. Consider adding more ram and switching to an SSD to make things run faster.

How much longer will your SSD serve you? SSDs are very common these days. And I always recommend them. And even though they do have higher reliability in general than hard drives (HDDs), they of course don't last forever.

This is the MSI Stealth 14 Studio A13V, and if you're into light and relatively thin video editing/gaming laptops, you should definitely consider getting one of these. I love the fact that despite its small 14-inch form factor, it packs a punch specs wise.

Is it slow now and wasn't before or is it slower than you expected when you bought it? That specific CPU is a power efficient model ( has the U at the end ) meaning it runs at much lower speeds compared to other versions of i7's.
