I'm having trouble deciding between two laptops:

and
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220997

I'm getting one of these laptops for college, and I'll be doing programming, CAD, and some light gaming on it. I understand the difference in all the specs except the i5 vs i7- is the 1920x1080 screen resolution over 1366x768 at the at the cost of having an i5 vs i7? I like the higher resolution, but want the laptop to last 4 years as well. What would you guys do?
