Thanks, i googled some and apparently its worth it if you get the 11
inch model, also better for battery life in general. For the 13 inch
there is a 10 % performance if you go from i5 to i7 for the 11 inch
thats 25%.

Sounds like in general the Air i5 is crazy fast, trouncing MacBook
Pros from less than a year ago.

Hi everyone,
I have been delving a bit more into the apple site (the different
macbook air models) apparently the accu in the 11 inch is a lot less
powerful and that is with the normal i5 processors. The i7 upgrade is
a bit costly. I wonder if it is really worth it. If you compare with
the standard 11 inch it only has 1 mb more cach and 200 mhz more
clockspeed. I am not sure about the diffences between the i5 and i7
families htough. I know i7 has turboboost but not sure if the i5 has
it too. I assume i7 uses more energy so drains the battery earlier?
I cannot find the processor names on the apple website so cant check
reviews.
Can anyone tell me more about the i5 and i7 processors and if it is
worth going for the i7 upgrade in regards with speed (turboboost I
suppose) and if it will drain the battery significantly more?
Thanks in advance, again,
Greetings, Anouk,
