Intel released it's 4th generation
Haswell processors a few months ago. This latest generation offers
improved performance and energy efficiency over the 3rd generation
processors. For a price of 50,000 INR, you can purchase a laptops with
decent specifications. Some people want the latest chips added to their
computer so these people tend to choose a laptop with the 4th generation
core i5 processor. Another reason for the selection of core i5
processor is the fact that not many laptops with an i7 processor is
available within the price range of 50,000 INR so the next mobile CPU
which gives the most performance in the Intel 'i' series is core i5. An
advantage of the core i5 is that it has got turbo boost technology
allowing to increase the clock speed of the processor that will result
in an increase in overall performance. Here we are listing top 5 best
