Hey Guys,
I am about to upgrade my Macbook (the old white version from about 4 years ago) to a new Macbook Pro.
I do not use this computer at school or at a college for audio or graphic arts programs like many users.
I use it for:
Watching Netflix.
Burning CD/DVDs and other media
Surfing the Interwebs
Doing Nerd stuff like visiting this website and Kotaku
So really, the busiest EVER that my Macbook would be, is if I was burning a CD, watching Netlix and surfing the web all at once. And that of course would be the max.
So, my question is, did I make the right decision in the Macbook 13" i5 instead of the i7 for $300 more?
The HD does not matter to me, for I doubt I will EVER fill up 320GB. That is a lot for me! And I even burn my CDs in Apple Lossless.
Please let me know and I can always return it, so feel free to be honest if you think I should have purchased the i7.
Based on what I have researched (like YouTube videos), most people seem to say that for what I will be doing (multi-media while watching my favorite movie on the couch), the i5 version is plenty fast.
Thanks for all of your input, it is VERY helpful!!!
