Took delivery of a new Lenovo V17 G3 laptop today, previous generation I think but good price and excellent screen.
It has an i5 @ 1.3 GHz which shocked me, it's a lower clock than my
tablet. My Dell had an i7 @ 3 Ghz but this seems just as sprightly. Is
that a function of how processors are built now?
It has Win 11 on it so yet another layer of hiding settings. Once you
get through the obscurity to what you're looking for it's the good old dialogs that pop up that we were using on W98. Not sure if I'll stick
with Win 11. at least I found something that lets me dock the Taskbar on
the left.

How many cores for the i5 vs the i7, how many hyperthreads?
It's probably an energy efficient model to save on battery life. Macbook
Airs used to have low clock i3 & i5 processors. Generally worked well, but you did occasionally notice lag.
I would suggest that comparing "Core i" numbers of different processors
is likely to be inconclusive if they are not from the same generation -
we are now up to (at least) the 11th generation.
The i3/i5/i7/i9 is just marketing - it doesn't 'mean' anything, it's just >good/better/best/bestest.
