You might notice a slight different in games, but generally speaking, in a laptop it's the video card that will be limiting you.
It should provide a decent enough boost if you are gonna do video encoding, 3D rendering and possibly PhotoShop (and similar programs to those).
For every day use like surfing the internet, you'll won't notice anything.
Like I stated, some people don't care what the price is, they just want the fastest they can buy.
