What kind of processor do you recommend for a new laptop that's meant to last for 10 years? Would an Intel Core i3-1005G1 processing unit do the trick?
I want to run Windows, use an office suite (probably LibreOffice) and the internet, do some minor image editing (so far not even Photoshop), maybe watch a movie now and then, take part in a video conference, etc. No gaming, no video editing, no serious image editing.
I'm looking at a good offer with otherwise fine specifications... but I wonder if the processor isn't a deal breaker. Any recommendations?
(And yes, I know I could technically switch to Linux at some point. I've tried that once before, though, and had to acknowledge I currently don't have the time--or the friends--to get myself familiarized with Linux enough to work with it effectively. Which means it's not a viable option, unfortunately.)
Thanks.
