Just curious how much better (if so) than the specs on a new Laptop I have bought but not yet received.

These are the specs of a Zoostorm desktop computer now running Windows 10 I bought and have used since 2010

2.93 gigahertz Intel Pentium Dual-Core
64 kilobyte primary memory cache
2048 kilobyte secondary memory cache
64-bit ready
Multi-core (2 total)
Not hyper-threaded
It is now fitted (updated ?) with a 120GB SSD and the Memory increased to 4GB
Basic specs of new Laptop

Asus Zenbook UX310UA Core i3-6100U 4GB 128GB SSD 13.3 Inch Windows
Thanks

    Rather than we guess a figure, how about download a benchmark test on each and get the real figures from both?

    If you have bought it, surely you know all about it, having done your research up front!!

    Did so before I bought
    Plenty of good reviews on the i5 and i7 versions but could not find one for lowest spec (i3) one, also same with "you tube" reviews
    Took a gamble on buying this one because not much will be asked of it, mostly internet use.
