Laptop Computer I5 Processor

The SSD drive is everything. This computer is so fast my head spun around. My old computer has the I5 processor too but not a SSD drive for start-up files and what a difference that makes. I also upgraded my RAM from 8gb to 16 gb and that made this computer way faster! Wait till you see the keyboard. Insane

I was a little concerned about choosing the i5 quad core processor over the i7 that I had in my previous HP computer as I utilize a few adobe programs at a time. So far, I have no complaints with the overall speed, and can't really tell a difference. The screen is also smaller than my last which I was worried would be an issue but I honestly love the portability of this computer!  The Touch Bar is actually way cooler than I ever expected it to be, I think Mac has done a poor job of promoting its capability. And the integration with my iPhone is really awesome. They work together seamlessly and made setup a breeze as it sent a lot of data over to my computer. I was a little disappointed that it took longer to ship out than originally advertised especially since I chose to buy through B&H specifically because they had the earliest arrival date. I ultimately lost out on an entire day of work which cost me additional money, but considering the current climate, I understand and prefer to support local business over large chains. I've only had great experiences with B&H thus far. I just hope in the end this laptop outlasts my previous (also very expensive) laptop. Only time will tell.

Amazing core i5!!! Good processor at a good price

The i5 is more than enough. I am no computer expert, but it does everything i want and fast

Replaced older I5 processor. Cannot believe how much it has reduced time to work on photos.

This processor is a great upgrade from my older intel i5 6600k. It's about on par with the Ryzen 5800x 3D in gaming performance and beats it in productivity. I got this for 230 dollars during Black Friday weekend and am very satisfied with the purchase.

It was kind of a struggle getting my hand on this item. Compared to my old pc with an i5 processor from 2013. This was significantly superior. Everything is now running with ease. A little hiccup here and now but overall amazing.

I wanted to buy a Mac Mini, but my budget was limited. I finally decided on a model with a 6-core i5 processor, 8 GB of RAM, and a 256 GB SSD. The unit was on sale at B&H for $999, a saving of $100. The SSD size is fine--I can expand storage with the use of external SSDs, which are becoming increasingly affordable. I wanted more RAM, but that gets expensive at Apple's prices. Then, on checkout, B&H offered me 32 GB of RAM (to replace the existing 8 GB) for $128. That looked appealing, but, klutz that I am, I was unwilling to open up my new computer and try to install the RAM myself. Then I saw that B&H would install the RAM for me for $40. And, since their techs are Apple-certified, the installation would not void my Apple warranty. I went for it. Bottom line: I got a Mac Mini with a 6-core i5 processor, 32 GB of RAM, and a 256 GB SSD for $1167. A Mac Mini identically preconfigured by Apple would have cost me $1699. I saved $532 (31 percent).

After years of enduring a 10 year old i5-750 processor, it was time to upgrade. I was initially pricing out an Intel processor and liquid cooler. For the same price. I ended up going with a 40% more powerful AMD processor, which comes with a decent cooler! The cooler is pretty quiet at idle/light workloads. At higher loads, it's a bit noisy. If you are a silent PC enthusiast, I'd suggest upgrading your cooler to a BeQuiet or Noctua CPU cooler. Even on the stock cooler the processor works quite well. Idles at 36-38ºC and full load it goes up to 75º with PBO off and 85º with PBO on. Benches at ~4800 on Cinebench R20. I expect to see a slight improvement once my 3200MHz RAM upgrade arrives! (currently on single channel 2400MHz) I decided to go with the ASUS Strix X470-F Gaming Motherboard, it is more than enough to handle this processor.

I was concerned about getting an i5 processor. But this HP ENVY Desktop TE01-1165t PC is a monster. It boots up faster than my i7 Envy Laptop. It has everything I wanted and I'm very happy with my purchase.
