I'm looking to replace a laptop that had a Core i7-2670QM @ 2.20GHz (benchmark here 5951) with one of equivalent or better performance. It was HP dv6t with 8 GB Ram.
Main use is web browsing (on complex, slow news websites that load many ads, flash's and videos that start automatically. Don't laugh it can take 30 sec per page). We have 40 Mb/s internet.
A lot of laptops in the low-midrange now have i5-6200U's, benchmark only 3935. Would it give the same level of performance as the old i7?
If not, it seems price/perf has not improved at all in 4 years. I would have to pay $1000 for a laptop with cpubenchmark of 5900 like the old one, same as I paid 4 years ago.
