Yeah, but as i'm getting a very lightweight 2-in-1 laptop or just a normal 11 or 12 inch laptop for around 500, then it's not gonna have a powerful dedicated gpu other than the intel hd graphics. And it's not gonna play any harder games than maybe factorio level graphical ones if any games at all as i'm getting it 90% for tv shows and movies on the go (tinnitus, so need something constantly running), and since i fell in love with SVP, then i think i wanna get one that has the cpu performance to maybe give me 48 or 60 fps interpolation. And since the i3 only was 50-100 more than the other pentium one, i might buy the i3 one and try it out with svp and see how it goes. If not, then i might buy a new hdd for it where i have all pre interpolated videos. Gonna takje a half decade, but meh, better than having to spend too much just to watch 60 fps video on the go. Cause the laptop i'm thinking of even has 8 hours of battery life which is good for 4+ hours of constant videos.
