13" rMBP i5 or i7

[swish2351]

I currently have a 2010 13" MacBook Pro. It's been overheating, running really slow, crashing, freezing, and having some problems.

I am probably upgrading to a rMBP when the Haswell version is released... So my main question is, what are the pros and cons of the i5 & i7?

I mostly use my computer to browse the internet, use skype, code in eclipse and textwrangler, use photoshop and SSH through terminal

According to your usage, i5 is more than enough. Spend the extra money for a 512GB SSD...

I have only used 80GB on my 3 year old MacBook Pro lol, 256GB is beyond plenty

Great, then spend the extra money to get Applecare if you don't live in UE zone...
