Agreed.

More cores might sound good but always take a look at the speeds such cores work. There are processors with more cores that are still slower than those with less cores. Laptops are always fun because they always advertise it as "omg look at those cores" but eventually it isn't needed or nothing special. Many times you don't even need to go higher than an i5.

I always cringe if someone comes along and says; guys suggest me a laptop for gaming.
