does performance of intel U suffix series is still bad compared to M? last year im looking for laptop with M suffix, because i read and i thought U suffix is bad as it low power series, but i realised if intel didnt made any M series on i7 and i5 since like 5th/6th generation. i dont have a lot of budget at the time when i have to get new laptop, so my only option is to get U suffix processor. is it actually still that bad until now? or it is pretty much the same like M suffix now in terms of performance?
 
Solution
U processors are very capable of meeting any usual laptop demands and then some. They won't be great gamers, but that's not their intent.

Web surfing, multitasking, etc...they're quite capable of, with very good battery life and low heat.
