Hey guys, first of all sorry if im posting in the wrong section.

i have a laptop that i mainly use for programming and heavy programs like visual studio, Clion, eclipse, android studio and a few more.

The only problem with this laptop is that its battery sucks, and its too big for me to carry all the time, its the hp envy 15.

i got my eyes on two laptops which are the Acer swift 5 and the Lenovo yoga 910. Both are 13,9 and they have amazing battery life, but the problem is they use the intel core i7-5200u, while mine uses the intel core i7-4700MQ. The 5200u is 2 cores while mine is quad core.

Is it worth it to buy one of those laptops or is my laptop better?

u gotta make some sacrifices. cuz the mq n hq r higher power draw cpu. so they tend to have lower battery life. and the other thing is, since they r powerful cpus which r usually paired with beefy gpu, they r bulky with fans n good ventilation.
