Look on your current CPU usage to give you an idea. 10 browsers doesnt say much about CPU usage, its more related to memory usage. I got 18 tabs open right now, plus Outlook etc. And my CPU idles.

Video also depends on GPU. But if you use integrated it should work fine for sure with that.

Yeah, memory will be more of the difference there. How much RAM is in your machine?

The i5 will be a faster CPU but for the task you are talking about the memory and harddrive will play more than the CPU.
