i'm in the midst of choosing between
1) dell inspiron 11 3000series 2-in-1
i3-4030U(4th gen)
win8.1
4gb ram
500gb hdd
rm2229

or

2) dell inspiron 13 7000 series 2-in-1
i5-5200U (5th gen)
win8.1
8gb ram
500gb hdd hybrid drive
rm3179

Which you think is good buy?
4th gen adn 5th gen processor any big difference?
big performance difference between normal sata hdd and hybrid drive?
My main criteria is portability. Is it worth to top up the difference to get the i5?

For day to day computing 4th gen and 5th gen are not much different..

Faster boot and normal app opening etc will feel much quicker and smoother.

It really depends on your needs. portability wise Dell Inspiron 11 would be a much better choice, but I personally prefer at least 13" and above screen.

Thanks for the reply.
I think for portability wise, the 11" & 13" shouldn't be much difference in weight increase i guess.
Processing wise, both i'm alright with it.

I guess i'm asking for future proof so that the notebook can use for at least 3 years or more down the road.
