I use a laptop with the i7-4720HQ that's over 3 years old now, but performs extremely well for all sorts of applications, even today. Furthermore, this video made me proud of owning a laptop with this CPU, once again! This 47 watt, 4 core, 8 threaded CPU with 6MB L3 cache & 3.6Ghz turbo boost speed is a beast, very close in performance to many desktop grade i7s, & I love it!
