Guys, I'm after a laptop for Access databases work.
Not 100% sure what specification would be best for it.
I believe Access doesn't use HT? Does it mean that having 4 cores won't make difference compared to i7 dual core with HT?
Would something like Dell XPS 13 MLK be ok for it?
It's a ultrabook with i7-3537U Processor (with Turbo Boost 2.0 up to 3.10 GHz).
It would have 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD.
Right now I work on desktop i5 2400 3GHz CPU. Now I need to go mobile and need to get a laptop. Would this mobile i7 CPU make huge difference compared to this desktop version of i5? It is slower but would it make a difference for Access?
What system resources are most important for MS Access? I know already that SSD makes huge difference. 8GB is a must for me, noticed it many time working on few databases at the same time. What about CPU? New Haswell i7 4500U is almost same as ivy i7-3537U, so would I notice a difference using either of those i7 compared to my desktop i5?
