soo. I am getting a MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display soon!! And I have a hardware question.. Let me say that the laptop will be used for Graphic Design and Light Video Editing and youtube and coding and school. PS: I will be using the education discount.
Specs I have picked so far:
-2.6GHz Dual-core Intel Core i5
-256GB FLASH
-16GB RAM

My question is... Should I upgrade to the "2.8GHz Dual-core Intel Core i7"?

Price With The '2.6GHz Dual-core Intel Core i5' ($1,777.49 AFTER TAX)
Price With The '2.8GHz Dual-core Intel Core i7' ($1,969.19 AFTER TAX)
 
Solution
Depends on what software you will be doing graphic design/editing in. If the program is CPU-intensive (Such as after effects), go for the i7. 16GB of RAM is a tad bit of overkill, but if you do a lot of editing go for it.
