| Protendo said: I think a big part of the problem is that Intel is complacent. An I2600K OC is still viable for everything 4+ years later. What is the reason to upgrade? The performance increase is just not worth the extremely minor upgrade. If computers bought 2 years ago, aren't much faster than a new computer than what incentive do customers have to upgrade? |
I have two laptops. One with Core 2 Duo and the other one comes with an i5 hasewell processor. Both have 8 gb of RAM. The perfomance difference is hardly noticeable.
Personally, I will not be getting new laptops until mine break.
I think slapping SSD on most 4 years old laptops will give it a new breath of life. No compelling reasons to buy a new laptop.
