Core I5 Or I7 Laptop

I had a 2014 iMac with an i5 that I enjoyed, the 2020 i7 8 core that I bought is a lot more machine and they are now being discounted. I don't need the latest tech but my new machine has 64 Gb of RAM and is much faster, I use it with Photoshop and for video editing. I had my last iMac for 7 years with not a single problem, a well made machine. I was an original apple developer in 1997 and I still favor Apple products.

I was a little concerned about choosing the i5 quad core processor over the i7 that I had in my previous HP computer as I utilize a few adobe programs at a time. So far, I have no complaints with the overall speed, and can't really tell a difference. The screen is also smaller than my last which I was worried would be an issue but I honestly love the portability of this computer!  The Touch Bar is actually way cooler than I ever expected it to be, I think Mac has done a poor job of promoting its capability. And the integration with my iPhone is really awesome. They work together seamlessly and made setup a breeze as it sent a lot of data over to my computer. I was a little disappointed that it took longer to ship out than originally advertised especially since I chose to buy through B&H specifically because they had the earliest arrival date. I ultimately lost out on an entire day of work which cost me additional money, but considering the current climate, I understand and prefer to support local business over large chains. I've only had great experiences with B&H thus far. I just hope in the end this laptop outlasts my previous (also very expensive) laptop. Only time will tell.

I upgraded my Dell Laptop G5 5590 9750H Core i7 from 16GB to 32GB. It is working very well. I am used to use crucial products, first I started with SSDs and now with memory modules. Regards

Amazing core i5!!! Good processor at a good price

Came from i7 7700k to i5 12600k is a massive improvement, with 299 price is a great CPU for this price Highly Recommend this CPU.

Needed this to keep a Core i5-11600K from giving me a sun tan. You KNOW the 11600K can get hot.

Best MB i have 10/10, is perfect with the intel core i7 12700k

Easy to install and keeps the core temp at about 36 deg C for my i7 12700k cpu.

In short, I am absolutely thrilled by the quality and functionality of this tablet, and extremely pleased with how quickly and reliably B&H were able to ship this out to me in Bangkok, Thailand. Some key points (Core i5, 8 GB RAM, 128 GB SSD): - Sleek and thin tablet but a little heavier than you might think - Rounded corners and thin bezels make the tablet look modern - Gorgeous 13-inch screen - need to switch on 120 Hz refresh rate in settings as it comes set at 60 Hz by default - Speaker quality is impressive - both richness and volume - Kickstand is very functional and convenient - Windows 11 makes everything look more modern - Device gets through everything I need it to without any slowdowns or any other problems (Core i5) - Get the biggest SSD you can afford - after loading the apps I need on this I have about 60 GB of available space for documents, which isn't much

I wanted to buy a Mac Mini, but my budget was limited. I finally decided on a model with a 6-core i5 processor, 8 GB of RAM, and a 256 GB SSD. The unit was on sale at B&H for $999, a saving of $100. The SSD size is fine--I can expand storage with the use of external SSDs, which are becoming increasingly affordable. I wanted more RAM, but that gets expensive at Apple's prices. Then, on checkout, B&H offered me 32 GB of RAM (to replace the existing 8 GB) for $128. That looked appealing, but, klutz that I am, I was unwilling to open up my new computer and try to install the RAM myself. Then I saw that B&H would install the RAM for me for $40. And, since their techs are Apple-certified, the installation would not void my Apple warranty. I went for it. Bottom line: I got a Mac Mini with a 6-core i5 processor, 32 GB of RAM, and a 256 GB SSD for $1167. A Mac Mini identically preconfigured by Apple would have cost me $1699. I saved $532 (31 percent).
