I'm typing this from a slowly dying 2011 macbook pro which is a 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5. I have no long term plans of doing heavy work (have an iMac for that) and figured going with the i5 makes more sense on a laptop anyway since the battery should last longer. This was the mid end option 7 years ago when I got it and never once has it felt slow (at least once I swapped in a SSD).
However I just wanted to sanity check and make sure I'm not missing out on something with that i7. For a desktop I want it as fast as possible but on a laptop, battery life is more important since the most hardcore thing I do on here is watch youtube videos haha. Thanks in advance for any input!
