Hi, I am planning to buy a new laptop to replace my old 10+ year old Toshiba Satellite M45 laptop. I use my laptop for MS office, surf the internet and watch movie online/TV using HDMI. I multitask a lot and open many browsers and programs at the same time. Will Intel i3 with 6gb ram have the same speed as Intel i5 with 4gb? I need speed, reliabilities and expecting to use this laptop as many years as possible. I am on a budget for laptop under/around $500. Any input will be appreciated.
Here are the three laptops I am considering:
1. $420, Toshiba Satellite C55-B5200 with 4th generation i3, 6gb ram and 750gb hard drive.
