i3 or i5 ?

Post by bravedancer »

Hi,
I'm buying a laptop soon.My uses will include using the betting exchages while listening to music.
On the betting exchanges iwill need several tabs open at once and speed will be important.
Will an i3 processor be enough or would i notice a difference with i5 processor.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I would get an i3 with more Memory, 4GB or better. more tabs means more memory usage, not really CPU usage
