I agree with Steve. It's been my experience that amount of memory makes
a more noticeable difference in performance than does the processor when
talking about multitasking those sorts of tasks.
I've also found that having an SSD makes a huge difference in speed of
almost everything. Of course, none of these things will improve Internet
sluggishness, but loading programs and switching tasks is much snappier
with my 8 GB of memory and my SSD. And I have an I5 sixth generation
processor.

I doubt that in itself would make much difference.
You have other issues to consider:
First, amount of memory.
Second, type of hard-drive.
Memory is pretty self-explanatory.
In terms of hard drives, most laptops come with a 5400RPM drive; whereas
desktops come with 7200RPM drives. This, essentially, slows down the
speed at which data is retrieved and transferred to your computer's
processor and cache memory.

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] I7 and I5, Does it really makes any difference
for jaws users?
Currently I am using I5 laptop, what I face some time, after opening
several programmes like Kurzweil, few internet explorer tabs, my Dell
laptop perform very slow. Is that the result of i5 processor, would it
run smoothly with i7 in this scenario?

Not really, for every day use.
There are i5 processors that will do better than i7, for general
computing
purposes, particularly if you put the extra cash into some more memory.
Typically, if you use large spreadsheets or do some video editing or
intensive gaming, then you want an i7 because it allows a lot more
hyperthreading; i.e. if you get an eight-core I7 it will run 16
hyperthreads, while an I5 is limited to four threads, even if it has
four
cores.
If money is not an object, go for the fastest I7 you can get with a good
amount of memory. But, if you are just using it for everyday things
like
email and browsing, then go for a processor which might be a bit less
powerful but has a lot less energy usage so you can conserve your
battery
for more operating hours.
