Difference between i5 and i7 cpu for Surface book?

difference between i5 and i7 cpu for surface book

has anyone run extensive testing to compare these 2 processors yet? is the i7 that much faster to justify the price differential for a guy using it to surf the net and stream youtube and other videos?

If you're going to surf the net and stream youtube get the I5..

Heck.. You may even get away with the m3

for your usage, the i7 alone is not worth it. Absolutely not. Now if you made videos and their heavy duty things, maybe.

I got a computer with a Haswell i7 in it, and I since realize I could've gotten by fine with the i5 model. (although it was bundled in with other specs I needed)
