I don't know much about the macbook processor: 1.1GHz dual-core Intel Core M processor (Turbo Boost up to 2.4GHz) with 4MB shared L3 cache.
However, I was hoping to buy the macbook the day it comes out (10th April)
Many people are saying the processor is good enough out the box. But, laptops tend to slow down and after a year or two, will the laptop get pretty slow??
I am currently choosing between the macbook and retina macbook pro and would like it to last 3-4 years.
I will probably use it mostly for web surfing (maybe like 20 tabs open...), music, watching HD videos and microsoft office (some pretty heavy excel work). Nothing too heavy like gaming, but I want it to consistently be perky.
Thanks for your help and advice!!
PS: just for reference I currently have an ASUS with Windows 8 i5 6gb ram (1.8 GHz). It is fairly cheap.
