This has been discussed a lot. One discussion you may find interesting is the topic titled "Anyone happier after switching to i5 from i7?" Link: http://www.surfaceforums.net/threads/anyone-happier-after-switching-to-i5-from-i7.10703/@bangsters: What is your view on the (performance) differences between the i5 and i7? I'm still considering both options but I find it hard to justify the extra costs for the i7 model based on my research so far.
I'm interested in the i7 because I work with pretty heavy SQL Server databases and big Excel (powerpivot) solutions.
Kind regards...
