/g/ redpill me on the dual core i7 U series processors. Are they actually as bad as people here make them out to be?

if you're getting it used, a dual core is fine in a laptop. But don't you dare buy one of those new and let Intel think it's okay to call an i3 an i7 because it's in a laptop
Go for the 6xxxHQ series.

They're not that bad. I own a 4500u. It's closer to an i5 than an i7 hq. I don't get why people want a 45 watt i7 in a laptop. You'll be lucky if you get 3 hours of battery life.
