Hello.
I need to buy a new laptop. I'd like to go for a somewhat older one because I like the form factor of the older laptops, particularly the separate "clicky" mouse buttons on the touchpad and the extra pointing device built into the keyboard (sorry I cant remember the name of it but it commonly is red and is about the size of a pencil eraser).
So, is there any significant difference between, for example a 1st gen i7 and a 5th gen i7?
While I'm at it, may I ask if there are any other significant differences between those 2-4 year old laptops and the latest models?
I should also note that I do use virtualization software, primarily VBox and heard somewhere about new virtualization capabilities of some of the intel processors.
Thanks very much for reading!
