MacBook Air i5 vs i7

Hey guys,

i'm going to buy the macbook air with 8gb ram and 256gb ssd.

I was wondering if i should go to i5 or i7.

I won't be doing really intensive work, no photoshop or editing movies or photos or whatnot.

Hope you can give me an answer!

Thanks!

(please done give me a link of the AnandTech research thingy, i read that like 100 times, it didn't really answer my question. I just wanted your opinions.)

The choice of processor makes a difference only for certain types of user. It sounds like you will be using your MacBook Air for only basic computing tasks such as web surfing, word processing, listening to music or watching online video. Having the i7 processor will not affect those tasks. Most of the time the computer is waiting for you! Having a fast processor just means it waits faster.

Best of luck.
