Hey guys,
whats your opinion on the two processors you can choose for the MBA? Since the price for the i7-version isn`t so much higher i tend to get this one, however i wonder if the i7-MBA will get warmer and has less battery life compared to the i5-vesion.
Of course i would prefer a faster processor but since i use a Mac Pro at home anyways thats less important to me than a portable, reliable machine with the battery lasting the whole day...
looking forward to your thoughts!
Daniel

I should make little difference to battery life and heat (getting things done more quickly can even be a bonus), buy whichever you wish.
