[QUOTE="mikerev, post: 985052, member: 125319"] I know all that. All I'm trying to find out is which is the better processor option for me based on what I'd be using it for. The screen size is basically irrelevant. I would prefer the 21.5 but I am prepared to go to 27 but only if I need the extra power. I know the i7 is only on the 27 and I know it's 180euro more than the i5. But I don't want to spend money on processor power I don't need. But I absolutley do want to spend it if it'll benifit me. So, in conclusion, the concise question is; is quad core necessary or supremely beneficial for running pro tools le 8? Or would it be overkill and am I better off going core duo and saving money? I just don't want to spend unnecessarily. [/QUOTE]
