MacBook Pro 13 inch 2.3Ghz i5 or 2.7Ghz i7?
I'm jumping ship from PC to Mac, and I have some questions.
1) I'm looking at the MacBook Pro 13 inch, but I'm not sure if I am going to want/need the lesser expensive one ($1199 2.3Ghz intel core i5), or the more expensive one ($1499 2.7Ghz intel core i7). I plan on watching movies, listening to music and downloading a lot of things (certainly not illegally ). Am I going to notice any performance issues if I get the lesser model, and if so, by how much?
2) Also, I know macs are known for not being susceptible to viruses and spyware, but should I get some programs to protect it anyway?
3) Is the AppleCare worth the $250?
Thank you for your help in advance.
