If you have integrated GPU, depending on the i7, you might need a GPU. Also if i7 is more powerful it will get more hot and need more fans or something to get it cold, also if you change generation you will need new MOBO for socket. if you are happy with the i3 you dont need to change, as you are in a laptop.
