Just for comparison I have a Predator Laptop with an Intel 7700HQ processor. Its been 7 years since I bought this laptop and its still going smooth. Never encountered any problem with the CPU except it gets really hot when I push it to the limits like working on Figma, Visual Studio and multiple tabs opened on Google Chrome simultaneously. The reason why I am mentioning this is because even the low end processor in this list the Intel N305 processor beats my Intel 7700HQ processor by speed, performance and efficiency.

Sorry for the annoying ads this is how I earn money :(
