I Traci, Honestly,
That is I believe a quad core i5 and that processor isn’t going to change much overall An i7 will be somewhat better but only when it comes to higher end useage and with 16GB ram the I5 should be fine in most cases From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Traci Duncan Sent: Wednesday, 15 April 2020 11:09 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: New MacBook Air advice? Hmmm, how about the I5? Is the I5 and 16 gb a good match? I guess I'm unclear on what is more important. Processor power or processor memory. Thanks for the responses.

I may be upgrading from the Mid 2011 model. Would you agree with the following? Opting for the core i5 and 8 gb memory is a good mix of power and value? One article suggested upgrading to the 16 gb is unnecessary and bumping into the MacBook pro tier. I wouldn’t say I am a power user, but as you can tell, I keep my technology for a long time. I haven’t researched new laptops or computers for a while. I welcome any and all advice for proformance matching value.
