[QUOTE="mobproctor, post: 1048206, member: 153752"] The i7 gives you 1 MB more of L3 cache than the i5s, which will help for photoshop. Unless you want to get the larger 17-inch MBP, the i7 model is also the only configuration that offers 512MB of GDDR3 for the Graphics Processor Nvidia Geforce GT 330M. Keep that in mind since you're interested in the higher resolution display. The speed of the higher-end i5 vs the i7 isn't too drastic but the i7 is faster operating at 3.06GHz while using 2 cores and 3.33GHz at single core. The i5 (2.53GHz) operates at 2.8GHz in duo cores, and 3.06GHz at single core. Lastly, running Windows in your mac via Bootcamp is as simple as putting a game cartridge into your Gameboy. I or someone else can explain it more when you actually get your Mac. [/QUOTE]
