We picked up a few probooks (refurbs) for under 300 on groupon and that are i5 albeit an old gen model. For my brother we changed the HDD to SSD because it was just not comparable to what you expect today in performance. So I expect the same here. It's an OK machine, just plan on SSD and more RAM if you can't stand the delays.

PS. Will there be any issue about graphics speed?

I see you asked about scrolling speed in another discussion. Intel graphics are OK for most things but when an owner wants speed such as scrolling the graphics chip used can make a difference.

I've found shipping to outside North America to end with the product being stolen so we went to courier services. That means shipping is more than the stick of RAM. You'll have to buy your own.
