[QUOTE="Rocky97, post: 1807469"] Will not make much difference, i5 or i7. If gaming, GPU is more important. The hard drive will greatly affect the performance of app loading times, switching on mac, etc. All macs come with a SSD anyways. Provided you dont go beyond basic usage though, 8GB RAM is good. My sister has that and it's calm. I have 16GB RAM. This suffices for my programming especially when I did Android programming, this used up a heavy chunk of RAM. I therefore think 8GB RAM will suffice or basic tasks but be sure your usage will not expand ;) [/QUOTE]
