Processor help.Hello helpful people!!
I am looking to buy a new laptop and I have decided that the Lenovo thinkpad edge E530 is for me.
I am looking at the upgrades on the Lenovo website and didn't realise you could change so much before you purchase it. I was wondering what difference upgrading the processor from an Intel Pentium B970 to an Intel Core i3-2350N would make.
What real world difference would it make (in layman's terms) and would it be worth the £40?
Cheers! -
