I'm getting the 2015 13" MacBook with 8GB RAM, 128 GB storage. But I'm still not sure whether I should get the i5 (1,6 GHz) or the i7 (2,2 GHz) processor.
99% of the time, I will use it for browsing the Internet, doing school stuff (Pages and Keynote) watching movies, so I think the i5 would be fine for that. BUT what would be the benefits if I get the i7? Would I even notice a difference? Will programs open faster, will it boot slightly faster, will browsing be more smoothly (especially with more tabs open) OR wouldn't I notice any difference at these (basic) things and the i7 will only noticeable at powerful stuff such as video or photo editing?
In other words, I'm willing to spend $120 for the i7 uprade if everything would be (at least a little) faster but obviously not if I will only notice a difference in doing intense tasks (which I do not do).
Also, what's the difference in terms of battery life and chillness/fan noise? Is the i7 only getting warmer, louder and draining more battery than the i5 when I push its performace to the limit? Or is the i7 always a little louder and warmer than the i5, even at light usage (browsing for example)?
Thanks for your help!
