Hi there !
I have a little question that comes to mind, now that I have to buy a new charger and battery for my 2014 laptop.
It is an Asus UX32VD Zenbook, with an Intel I7 3517 and 10GB of RAM and a 1080p IPS display.
Used to be top dollar back in the day... Still works fine for what I use it for, google chrome, PDF reading, and VLC player at work.
Now, a battery and a charger will be about 100$ and I need advice, should I put down 100 bucks into maintaining this laptop, or do Iput down X cash and get something better ?
From quick googling, I see that only the latest Intel I7 are significantly faster (I7 7600) than mine, while the 2015-2018 ones are only 40% faster which will probably be insignificant for what I do.
Am I correct in assuming that the minimum worthwhile upgrade from what I have is I7 7600 ?
Anything else other than CPU's that happened to laptops since I bought mine ?
Anyway, any advice is helpful
