I'm going to get a new laptop for work-use. Normally I have up to 10 windows open at the same time, mostly PDF's, folders, Excel, SIGMA, Outlook and Explorer.
Is the i7-6560U strong enough to handle these tasks at the same time without being slow compared to the i7-6700HQ?
 
Solution
In that case ask yourself which is more important; efficiency or power.

Personally, I always pick power over efficiency because there are ways to improve efficiency, but there's no way to improve power. Also consider where you'll be in a few years time; you may be getting frustrated by the speed of your laptop.

It's between a Dell XPS 13 and Dell XPS 15. Both with 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB SSD.
