Which CPU? Which CPU?

I'm buying new laptop and I'm not sure with which CPU to choose. I've had i7-4700HQ in my laptop for the past 3+ years which was at the time top CPU.

Now I'm not sure should I go again for 7700HQ (or 6700HQ if better deal) or i7 "U" series which is dual core. What about 6th/7th generation i5 HQ and U?

I'm not doing any editing or playing games but alot of the time have many applications opened:
- HEM
- 2 poker room
- several browsers
- bsplayer
- pio too rarely unfortunately
..

Should I go for more threads or? What would be best buy?
I will have SSD for sure and probably 16gb.

Does your current CPU not handle what seems to be rather modest requirements?

Is it just me? About 95% of the time people ask which option to choose and none of the above is the right answer.

This video explains why the 8th generation Intel CPUs are the first big step forward from the 4th generation.

It does, but I would like to move to 17.3 screen. Also, my laptop lost warranty so I would like to sell before something die . I have it almost 4 years.
