[QUOTE="spikeyfish2, post: 1362650, member: 235994"] I currently have an iMac i3 (Late-2010). I'm planning on keeping this at home when I go to uni later this year, and buying a MacBook Pro to take with me. We have a white MacBook in the house, but when it's in use after some time the fans get really loud - is this issue on the aluminium MacBooks? Anyway, I've got two choices: 13 inch 2.4GHz i5 or 13 inch 2.8GHz i7. Budget allows for both options, but I'm wondering whether the speed increase is sufficient enough to justify the £300 difference. Obviously uni work doesn't require much speed - word documents etc I assume. However, I'll be continuing iPhone development while I'm studying, so It'll need to run things like Photoshop and Xcode pretty quickly. Any thoughts? :) [/QUOTE]
