My laptop is using N4020. I charged the battery in the morning, and I could use it all day without recharging it. At work, I use an external monitor/keyboard/mouse, which performs absolutely flawlessly for my duties. At home, the battery still had enough "juice" to work until late in the evening.

cache memory of N4020 is L2 which is faster than L3 and why pay more for N5030 also. So N4020 is better
