Does the extra cash for i7 worth over buying i5?

Hi,
Quick description:
I am a VBA developer (Excel) and have no issues with CPU speed. However, I wanted to learn Android programming but the speed of Eclipse is a major drawback. It actually made me forget about Android for many months.
Tried Visual C++ Express today and is a bit slow to compile, so I am looking to upgrade my laptop.
Dilema: i5 or i7
I would like to get opinions from developers that have knowledge of this matter. Is i7 going to be make a difference in speed compared to i5?
These are the available procs I can choose from my retail shop (laptops):
i5-4210U 1.70GHz (most common)
i5-4200H 2.80GHz
i5-4210M 2.60GHz
i5-5200U 2.20GHz
i7-4510U 2.00GHz (most common)
i7-5500U 2.40GHz
i7-4710HQ 2.50GHz
i7-4712MQ 2.30GHz
So to conclude, I am looking for advice whether I should pay the extra cash to get an i7. My goal is to have shorter compile time then I currently do. Is the speed difference noticable between i5 and i7?
If this helps you benchmark speed, on my Intel Core2 Duo T6600 2.2GHz with 4GB Ram, took me 8 seconds for the first build of XBrackets plugin for Notepad++ (the code is available online).
Many thanks in advance!

Does anyone know how well the Intel Iris Pro installed on new 15" MacBook Pros performs using Photoshop and Lightroom? I have seen some differing opinions out there, and I would rather not shell out the extra cash for the Nvidia if I don't have to. I mostly do photo editing for business and personal use. I have not used the 3D function in Photoshop, but I would like to know that I could.

You could download a trial and see how well it works before committing to a subscription. You get 30 days to decide.

Should I shell out the extra cash for an i7?

I do pretty regular work on Adobe Creative Suite (mainly Bridge and Photoshop) for work, about 10-15 hours a week. I can upgrade RAM later, but would it be worth it to pay extra for an intel i7?

I would, and did, for the reason you cite.
There is only a slight performance difference that will be impossible to notice unless you were to compare the two side-by-side, but CPUs cannot be upgraded.

I am going to buy myself a MacBook Pro in the near future and was wondering if the new Retina Display model would be worth the extra cash. I will mostly be doing photo/video/music editing.

if you're not in a big rush - why not hold off until Adobe and Microsoft releases an update to support the Retina Screen.
Don't get me wrong - the Macbook Retina is a good and videos look great - but when it comes to Photoshop, it's a little blurry and the fonts in Excel and Word is pretty blurry too.....I own one....
In any event, if it's something you can live with - then by all means - go for it.....
Otherwise - get the non Retina Macbook Pro - it's cheaper, and it's user upgradeable in both RAM and Hard Drive.
Good luck.

Does the Wish List for iPhone/iPad/iPod show price drops?

Does the Wish List for iPhone/iPad/iPod show price drops? I assume it would show the new price in the Wish List but does it inform you if the price drops?

The apps which show on the file sharing section on your iPad when connected to your computer's iTunes, you have exactly the same apps installed on your iPhone - they are not separate iPad and iPhone apps that you have installed on your iPad/iPhone, and only the iPad version supports file sharing ?
For iBooks, that won't show, it doesn't support file sharing. You can add ibooks / epubs / PDFs to your computer's iTunes library (the iBooks app if you are using a Mac with OS X Mavericks on it) via File > Add To Library, and you sync them to a device via its Books tab :
If you want to copy them off the device to your computer's iTunes (to the iBooks app on Mavericks) then File > Devices > Transfer Purchases will copy them over (that will copy PDFs and epubs from the iBooks app on your device, not just ibooks).

What does the "s" stand for in iPhone4s

What does the "s" stand for in iPhone4s??

Yes, that is correct. There is no right answer 100%. I don't really know how to explain it. But you have to see where I am coming from. I guess you can think about it like this. S is a word. The word was defined as speed 2 years ago. Now it is being used again. Since S was already defined it does not need to be defined again. It just makes sense that apple would be consistent in their product names.
But that isn't what they said. They said "that's the probmlem i'm having with people saying its siri.." In other words, that's why I am not so sure siri is the correct answer. They are just curious, that's all. If someone said, "The iPhone is to die for" would you think they would actually die for an iPhone? Like I said, just relax. You don't need to go attack people by saying that they need mental help when they are just curious about something.
However, you are entitled to your opinion. I have presented my case and you seem to be getting pretty upset over my comments so I think this whole thing should be let go. There are plenty of posts here for the OP to make a decision for themselves and if he/she needs more clarification he/she will ask.

Hey Hindfromlondon,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. Since you are posting here, I take it you already have an Apple ID.
You can setup that Apple ID to work with iCloud. See:
Set up your Apple ID for iCloud and iTunes - Apple Support
And you usually want to stick with one Apple ID as having multiples can cause confusion (especially with purchases).
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID - Apple Support
What is an Apple ID?
An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services. You don't have to create a new account for each service—just use your Apple ID.
For a complete list of all of the places you can use an Apple ID, see Where do I use an Apple ID.
and further down:
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
Regarding iCloud storage check out
iCloud storage upgrades and downgrades - Apple Support
I encourage you to read all about it as there's lots of information out there.
Take care,
Nubz

First, you posted in the Mac App Store forum which are apps for the Mac OS X, not iOS devices.
You do not need to re purchase your apps. Connect your iOS devices to your computer, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Apps then click Sync

Why does the payment screen for the creative cloud change from english to portuguese?
I'm trying to sign up for the photography creative cloud with lightroom 5 and photoshop. When I click on the "buy" button is takes me to the payment page, but my country changes from the U.S. to Argentina and the language changes also.
I've tried contacting Adobe, but they're ways of contacting them are a pain in the ***. The chat doesn't work and I'm on hold forever when I call.

ACR 4.4, ACR 3.3...What does the "ACR" stand for ?

In the Camera Calibration tab in Camera Raw or Lightroom, we can choose the profile from the menu.
There are so many profiles in the menu, ACR 4.4, ACR 3.3...What does the "ACR" stand for ?

ACR x.x designates an older style of profile where Adobe named their profiles for the version of Adobe Camera RAW that first supported the camera--basically the vintage of the profile, so if Adobe updated the profile then you'd be able to pick whether you wanted the old one or the new one.

Why does the file Name for file attached with Annotations "Attach File" (paperclip) become Unknown when Comments are Published?

Our company recently purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI for the purpose of using it for shared electronic reviews. We are using Send for Shared Review created in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI, and all the Comment tools work as expectedexcept the paperclip in Annotations.
When a Word or Excel or Image(png,jpeg) file is attached using the Annotations paperclip, the initiator can initially see and open it. But after Publish Comments is selected and the review file is closed, the file "Name" changes to "Unknown" (although the Description has the correct file name and extension). The Modified information is Unknown, as is the Size and Compressed Size.
When the review file is then re-opened, even the initiator cannot open the file, although:
The file location is marked with the paperclip within the document.
The file name is shown in the Comments List with the initiator's name.
In the Attachments list (the paperclip beneath the Thumbnails and Bookmarks) the Name appears as Unknown, Description shows the file name, Modified is Unknown, Size is Unknown, and Compressed Size is Unknown.
The file Name cannot be edited, although the file Description can be.
We have followed the procedure described in the tutorials but cannot figure out how to troubleshoot this situation. Since this feature was the reason for the purchase of Adobe Acrobat Pro IX, we would any help. Please don't leave out any basics since we are all new users.
We have several people with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and the rest have Adobe Reader XI and it is a Windows platform. Can someone please give us some advice how to get this feature to work as described?

FYI Rave,
There are some other forum entries with this exact same issue...:

HT4623 what does the mm stand for on my model of ipad mini?

what does the mm stand for on my model of my ipad mini that is also cellulat?

Copied from another discussion, from Phil0124
The MM or Millenium Media according to what I can find, refers to the CDMA variation of the Cellular iPad for Verizon Networks.
The non MM version is for GSM carriers like AT&T.

What does the (MM) stand for ie:wi-fi+cellular (MM)?

I don't know what the "MM" stands for specifically, but those are the CDMA models, A1455 for the mini and A1460 for the 4th-gen iPad Retina.

What does the "1" stand for on the Aperture Icon?

A 3.4 What does the "1" stand for on the Aperture Icon?

As far as I see, the red number shows that the recipient has accepted the stream. If you delet the stream the red number is gone.
I am not sure -this may be a coincidence: Yesterday I saw the red number "1" appear everytime I received a notification when a comment was added to one of the images I posted. When I read the comment, the number went away. The number is gone now, but I still have the stream.

Does the extra cash for i7 worth over buying i5?
