Laptop i5 or i7

[Chris714]

I was looking to purchase this laptop https/www.amazon.com/Acer-Aspire-NVIDIA-Windows-E5-575G-53VG/dp/B01DT4A2R4?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B01DT4A2R4&linkCode=as2&linkId=KWIQF6MRO2TEBLXP&redirect=true&ref_=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl&tag=wiknix-20

I was wondering if the extra 120 would be worth it to upgrade to the i7 or is the performance barely noticeable.

The i7 has better single-core performance, but other than that it's pretty much the same thing. You wouldn't notice much of a difference with the i7

only about 10% turbo boost. not much for $120.
It not for gaming it is?

Oh well, accidentally unselected my best answer. Go for the i5, a little performance gain in single-core applications but nothing to warrant the extra $120

Basically the i5 6200u and the i7 6500u are the same cpus (dual core, skylake, 15w) and they only differ in max cpu speed and 1MB cache more. I don't think that the upgrade worth the $120
