I'll be replacing my C720 with a 13 CB713 and in my country have two options on the specification (both 64GB drive):
i3 2.20 Ghz 4 GB memory
i5 1.60 Ghz 8 GB memory

My use will be browsing (with VPN), docs and spreadsheet, and no doubt trying some Android apps. I've got so used to a quiet laptop with the C720 and would want something as quiet with the new one, but they have fans. Of the two, which one would use less fan? A more powerful under stressed i5 or the i3. Price difference is not important.

Thanks,
Roger

    The fan on this model is only rarely invoked and it never gets uncomfortably loud or hot. It has back and underside venting for heat dissipation which means there is very little heat, there is no need for more fan speed. The fan noise may be noticeable but minimal given what the system is doing.
