Why on earth do you need the latest CPU architecture to browse the web. I have a laptop from 2002 and it runs chrome and browses the web just find. What on eart

  Try playing a 1080p video on youtube on it :)

    Fair enough, but I doubt the latest CPU features would help me in that regard :) With more HTML5 dynamic stuff it's also becoming very slow as well. I really only use it to control my DSLR.

    No 1080p screens in 2002 laptops.

      More like 1920x1200 :)

      Funny cuz the 2 laptops I've had in 2002-2003 had either a 1600x1200 or the weird 1400x1050 resolution which was popular for 5:4 14-15" panels at the time. Heck with "720/1080p" screens becoming popular there was actually quite a decrease in the overall resolution in laptop screens between say 2005 to 2012 with 720 and 800/900 vertical resolutions screens being produced instead of the good old 1000+ vertical resolution screens we had previously. I didn't want to upgrade a laptop for almost 2 years because i wouldn't use a screen with so little vertical real estate, now with 1440-2160p screens becoming popular again it's a very good time indeed. And I hope that 3:2 screens actually catch up, I've been using a 1440x1440 screens now for some months now and the square format is just amazing for productivity, nothing is outside of your focus and they are just awesome for half screen vertical tiling.
