[QUESTION]Gen2 Intel Mobile in 2018 are they still good?
I want to ask people opinion on gen2 intel processor, are they still good in 2018 for you or will you buy a new laptop? I recently just upgrade my laptop cpu processor from i3-2330m(Dec 2017) to i5-2430m then recently from i5-2430m to i7-2670qm. I wondering how long I should stick with this laptop. I just do code (On VM with ubuntu, windows server 2008 ASP.net, php, js, android ionic) and sometimes play age of empires 3 and some old games like CS 1.6 and LFD 2.
I hate many manufacture create laptop without swap able battery, that's why for now I still stick with ASUS a43sv with this old gen2 intel for now. But recently I see web become so heavy even site like m{@}sh{@}ble.com need to be on high performance mode so I could read or navigating inside their page.
I welcome any opinion. Thanks. (I consider buying new one but not in this year, maybe after I graduate)
