[QUOTE="19birel, post: 1336367, member: 221361"] Like previously mentioned, if you can afford i7, go for it. An i5 will do more than what you need though if you really want to save money (I edit pictures/video on a CoreDuo with minimal lag). But my guess it won't be current as long with Mac OSX operating systems as the i7 would be. Since you want this computer to last long, I say get the i7 and you can keep that computer for probably even more than 4 years an have stay relatively current with most software. My CoreDuo 2Ghz is about 4 generations of processor old and the computer itself is almost 7 years old and it still runs almost everything except for really good games. If you take care of the i7 machine it will have a very long lifespan and if you max out its RAM capabilities it will stay fast for quite a while. Overall the i7 is better but if you can't afford it you will still have a very good computer that will still last quite a while. [/QUOTE]
