I7 - 10th Generation VS 11th Generation - Comparison Model

[Brian A]

I'm interested in purchasing a new laptop. Costco is currently selling two different versions of the Lenovo Flex laptop at the same price. I have attached the specs for both models.

It looks like to me that the model with the I7 10th generation is a better value as you get a better hard drive and the pro version of Windows 10. But with that said, does it pay to get less of a hard drive and go for the latest processor. Would appreciate members of this forum with their thoughts on this

Thanks for your help in this matter.

The 11th gen cpu has a higher base clock 2.8ghz. compared to 1.3 ghz for the other one. What do you plan on using this laptop for? The newer one has integrated graphics while the other one was a dedicated card. Windows 10 pro is more based toward business use then personal use anyway. If it was me I would get the newest one. Just all depends on if 512 gb will be enough storage for you.

Thank you. I will only be using the laptop to surf the web and with the exception of MS Office, the only other programs I will use is Quicken and possibly a movie converter program. As far as the hard drive, I have several external back up drives, so the storage shouldn't really be a problem. Looks like I will go with the newer model then. Again, thanks for your help.
