It appears that you were looking at the i5 model. The one you commented on is the i7 model, the differences aside from price is the i7 can preform better under stress tests and higher loads.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The differences are the processor and Graphics card being more powerful in the i7 model. Other than that all specs should be the same. I originally bought the i5 8gb ram and 128gb version, but ultimately returned and got the i7 16gb ram 256gb storage version and I noticed the difference even though a lot of people online say you won't. The i7 version's cpu is about 15% more powerful and the gpu about 25% more according to benchmarks, but real world performance shows me that the i7 makes enough of a difference to choose that one. If you're using it for music, netflix and the occasional task, get the i5. If you're using it for work or gaming or design etc, get the better one.
