[QUOTE="NG Mas, post: 1852107, member: 404596"] Thanks everyone for all the advice!! Just wanted to also ask regarding the temps on the i3 model which judging from testimonies and various reviews seems on the most part to run cooler than the i5. Firstly with apps and websites etc becoming more resource intensive in the future is it reasonable to assume that the i3 will run significantly hotter for the same tasks in let’s say 4 or 5 years?? And if in the future the i3 starts to heat up and throttle for basic tasks like watching Netflix etc how much of a noticeable impact is that likely to have? Are we talking about Netflix shows or zoom calls freezing mid video or is the effect of throttling hardly noticeable? [/QUOTE]
