I'm looking to purchase the mid-2014 high end 13 inch Macbook Pro Retina. Is it worth spending the extra money to upgrade the processor from 2.8GHz i5 to 3.0 GHz i7?
Can anyone tell what the differences are between the two? And what about the ram? Does 16gb make a big difference compared to 8gb?
I'm not gonna use it for any heavy editing. Mostly gonna use it for school, web and mail but I'd also like to run Windows 7 through Bootcamp as I use some programs that only work with Windows.
I'm also thinking about future software updates. Won't the 3.0 GHz i7 processor be noticeably faster than the 2.8Ghz i5 in, say, 3 years when software requires better hardware?
Thanks
