Beginner Low End Laptop Choice Question

mos

I currently own a UX305 (Core M with Integraded Graphics) and feels that it's slightly too slow for my liking. However, I'm not sure how much processing power will I need. I basically only use chrome with Gmail, plenty of tabs and multiple twitch TVs which lags my pc if I open more than 1 stream. Given these programs, I'm not sure whether I should get a Skylake core M (when it comes out to improve graphics) or that I require a core i5/7U that improves the PC altogether. I'd like more tabs and streams but not too much more. 

 

The task manager just shows processor - 100% but since I'm don't really know anything and there's integrated graphics, I don't know which one (CPU or integrated graphics) that is lagging my PC. No price constrains at all, I like really thin laptops.

I know for a fact that the iGPU in the Core M is VERY weak, but if you are looking at task manager it would be displaying the actual CPU usage and not the iGPU.

If you "Feel it's a little too weak" then once you have everything set-up plus 2 years time it will be slower than a literal snail (TRUST me). I'd suggest perhaps looking for some faster processing power of whatever laptops you decide to consider buying

Thanks!
