Hello I'm looking for a convertible notebook for the university and ask me the question if I need an Intel Core i5 or i3. I would write him in for research etc. Use. Even the generation is not clear to me, an I 5 of the 7 generation is significantly slower than one of the 8.
For me it is important that he runs fast.
In short, intel's 6th and 7th generation are almost equally weak
the 8th generation stands out far from the 7th generation and the 9th generation is only the i7 clearly better.
The i3 of the 8th generation is said to be like an i5 of the 7th generation.
Now to your question, an i3 of the 8th generation would be enough and also a i5 of the 7th generation.
More important is that you have a SSD installed, and have 8GB Ram.
How much do you want to spend for the notebook?
A notebook with an Intel Core i3 - 6006U to i3 - 7100U (2 cores / 4 threads @ 2.00, or 2.4 Ghz), 8 GB RAM and an SSD 256 or higher is enough for pure work with office or internet GB as a system drive.
In the notebook range, the i3 and i5 binoculars differ only in the lack of turbo mode in the i3 series. The Turbo can also be created on the mobile i5 only at very short notice.
There are also in the notebook range by Intel starting from the 6th gene also genuine i5-Quadcores, which are then however more expensive and in addition the identification HK, HQ or QM carry. In my opinion, you do not need the task given for you but.
The computing power per core & Mhz has not increased noticeably at Intel since the 6000 series.
If you have a lot of money to look out for, a sixth or seventh generation Core i3, if there's something more in it, a dual-core i5 of those generations. (all with SSD)
However, a maximum of 700 euro would like one with pen so touchdisplay
700 euro I would like to spend about, however, one with pen so touchdisplay
Then this would be a good decision.

Is just under an i5 eighth generation in terms of performance
With a modern Intel - Dualcore the Core i - 6th to 7th Gen from 2.0 Ghz + (base clock) you will get through the book in about as fast as with a fast smartphone or tablet.
With the wireless Internet there could then only special attention on the already integrated WLan - solution of the book.
Nevertheless I do not recommend Pentium N Silver 5xxx… Better in the minimum an i3 6th to 7th gen…
What is too much there, you can always reduce down through the Windows Energy Management.
