L10 - Speed - uh no...

I’ve just changed to an 11th generation i7 with 16GB RAM and a 1TB SSD running Widows 11 and the difference was remarkable before L10. L10 has noticeably improved it further.
I've been waiting to be able to afford to get a new computer, just not there yet. Do you have an i7 laptop or desktop? I keep reading that getting an i7 on a laptop is a waste of money because the processor overheats and slows down in a smaller form factor. I'm definitely getting a bigger hard drive and more RAM, but I may not be able to afford an i7, so I'll likely stick with the i5.

I've got it on an HP laptop and am having no problems with overheating or the processor slowing down.

I have 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz 2.80 GHz. It is a Lenovo with 12 GB ram and ssd ... I went with it because at the time, the price was (I thought) fantastic. But....I have no regrets. I have seen a slow down when I have a background running which I am compiling a C++ program in the background... and streaming a video at the same time while searching in Logos... That's pretty demanding of resources on the Lenovo.... but even then... that only last for a very short time. I was concerned about the 12 GB ram not being enough.... but for me, it has actually worked out great!
The Speed of L10 when not doing all the above is better than L9. And muchly appreciated.
If you haven't bought a computer yet.... and unless your some NASA Physics Engineer or something... you probably can get a great deal on the Lenovo Yoga laptop during this time of the year. I would watch the sales particularly nearer Christmas or even 1st of the year.

I am currently using a Lenovo Yoga laptop and definitely would like the latest version of the same type of laptop, just with more RAM and a bigger SSD.

Overheating is likely going to depend more on the specific model you get than whether it's an i5 or an i7. But less expensive laptops with i7s are probably more likely to overheat.

The difference between consumer i5 and i7 has narrowed over recent releases and old perceptions have to be adjusted as an i5 can run hot, can have as many cores, and isn't necessarily the second choice because it is cheaper. The specs of each, especially their Thermal Design Power (TDP) can tell you if they would run "hot" e.g. a TDP of 45W could run hot in a laptop (and should not be considered in a more compact, ultra-slim computer). A TDP of 65W and higher is for a desktop with a large case, multiple fans and possibly liquid cooling!
Even so, some laptop manufacturers compromise on cooling for TDP's around 25W, so look for reviews before buying.

Can't speak about what I don't know.... but my I7 Lenovo Yoga.... I have definitely put it through the mill so to speak... has been always cool to the touch... I would buy again if I was in the market. As to the ram.... It's always been difficult for me to pin point how much ram I need. My theory used to be to "buy as much ram as you can and as big a ssd as you could... the latest and greatest so to speak...". I bought this Lenovo Yoga with 12 GB ram. and ssd .. mainly because of the "WOW" price...and I have been very satisfied with it.... which now causes me to wonder.... can a person "over engineer" which leads to "over cost" when they buy a computer? And at this juncture... I'm a thinking "Yes".
In today's world of computers.... definitely one needs a ssd ... and then I guess as much ram as you feel you need. (Don't buy for bragging rights!). But for me, if I was buying now... I would buy the latest processor I could and definitely a ssd and minimum of 12 GB ram.... just because it will last longer... Just saying... But then again.... not everyone is like me... lol ...
