Who is a Core i3 laptop for?

A Core i3 is the entry point to Intel's Core range: enough for browsing, email, Office, homework and online classes when it is paired with an SSD, which every laptop we sell has. If you multitask heavily, a Core i5 laptop is often only a little more. Compare every processor and price in our full range of refurbished laptops, or see our cheapest laptops.

Which Core i3 generation?

The generation is the first digit or two of the model number, such as i3-8145U (8th gen). It decides Windows 11 support more than anything else.

6th and 7th gen (i3-6100U, i3-7100U)

Two cores and four threads. Fine for documents, email and browsing. These run Windows 10.

8th gen (i3-8130U, i3-8145U)

Still two cores and four threads, but faster, and on Microsoft's list of processors supported for Windows 11.

10th and 11th gen (i3-10110U, i3-1115G4)

The newest Core i3 laptops we see. The 11th gen chips have noticeably faster built-in graphics for video calls and streaming.

Refurbished Core i3 laptops: frequently asked questions

Is a Core i3 laptop good enough?

For browsing, email, Office, online classes and video calls, yes, especially with an SSD and 8GB of RAM. For heavier multitasking, large spreadsheets or design work, a Core i5 is worth the small extra cost.

What is the difference between a Core i3 and a Core i5?

A Core i5 has more cores or threads and higher boost speeds, so it copes better with many programs open at once. In refurbished business laptops the price gap is often small, so compare both before you buy.
