Is there a significant difference in the performance of the below?  I usually, have 10-20 browsers, excel and word open to work between plus youtube playing something. I don' game at the moment. Would the slower less capable on be okay?

Dell Inspiron 5567 15.6" Core i5-7200U 8GB 256GB Radeon 2.50GHz. 8GB RAM

Dell Latitude E5470 Laptop, 14" FHD Screen I7 6th Gen 256GB M.2 Windows 11 Pro 2.70 GHz. 8GB RAM

    The Core i7 processor should be fractionally faster, but you won't be able to tell the difference unless you are doing something that is really processor-intensive 
    The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.
