Newer chips?
My laptop I use every day is a 2011 Sony Vaio SE 15.5" i5 8gb with Windows 7 ultimate.
It is an absolute workhorse and nothing is too much for it.
Why buy a new laptop that won't necessarily be any better and with a far worse OS.
Sad that I prefer my 5 year old machine to a brand spanking new one but that's exactly both Intel and Microsoft's problem.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
