i7 is a faster processor.  That machine will be quicker and run cooler

I was told with machines like these, it's best to go with the i7, you get a much better run for money in terms of lifespan of the machine.

Go with the i7, it's a much faster machine and will handle Photoshop and Lightroom better.
