Core i5 or i7

[posterboy]

Hi chaps,

Looking for a new laptop in the new couple of weeks. I am confused, I have a budget for a mid to top range laptop for video editing and design as well as occasional gaming.

So do I get an i5 or i7 ? Since i5 is very capable, is i7 worth it?

Thanks

i7 has driver probs with older proggys but if your starting from scratch with a new lappy seems the better choice.
