- robryan 16y agoI think for a lot of people it's more about getting the best value for money than actually needing the better CPU. Yes there are people that actually need a mobile machine with that extra power but for most uses cases it's perfectly fine. I just brought one of the new 13inch mbp's, for development I can't really say it's any less responsive than the i7 machines I use at uni.
- jrockway 16y agoYou're doing it wrong. My i7 is not even in the same league as my old Core 2 Duo. Some things, like running test suites, are almost 10x faster. 10x! The i7 is an amazing piece of hardware.
- matwood 16y agoI agree. I replaced a SR MBP (2.4 C2D) with a new i7 and normal tasks really are that much faster. I had expected better performance, but was pleasantly surprised by how much the upgrade provided.
