Hi all, I'm planning to buy a new laptop for software development / internet browsing and watching movies purposes.
For software development, I plan to create a web application as well as mobile application after my work hours.
Here are some of the applications that I might install and those will be installed inside VMWare:
Eclipse
MYSQL/Oracle SQL
Tomcat
Android Studio
jdk
netbeans
Photoshop
phpMyadamin
apache
turtoise svn
Most of the time I'll be using my laptop on my room so no problem regarding battery power thingy.
I'm undecided between i5's 4200U processor @ 1.6Ghz vs i7's 4500U @ 1.8GHz.
Both have 8 gb RAM.
I know i7's definitely is an advantage but can I really notice the difference if it will be used on software development?
Because if not then I will choose i5 due to its a lot cheaper than i7.
Thanks!
