I've been trying to decide between these two refurbished MBA's:
Refurbished 11.6-inch MacBook Air 1.8GHz dual-core Intel Core i7 - Apple Store (U.S.)
and
Refurbished 11.6-inch MacBook Air 1.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 - Apple Store (U.S.)
and somebody told me that the 4th gen i5 1.3 Ghz would outperform the 2nd gen i7 1.8Ghz. I compared them on Intel's website, and though I know the i5 is the newer CPU, I still don't quite understand how it could be better than an i7 with hyperthreading and so much better specs. Can somebody explain this to me?
