The cinebench R23 scores are wrong for i5 1240p. It is more than 9300 multi-core in my laptop. Please check the scores one more time on a different laptop in charging mode.

Hi, will an i5 processor with 1240p resolution and 32GB of RAM be enough for working with 120+ Chrome tabs and 10+ apps open at the same time?

Arif, 120 Chrome tabs? And with 10 apps running? 32 GB is simply not enough!
