    For futureproofing and better CPU-enhanced multitasking, I would go with the i7 Quad Core over the i5 Dual Core.

    206€ for an i7? No way. I'd stick with the i5.

    if you need the processing power on the go, then yes, get the i7.

    or if you are confident , you maybe able to upgrade aftermarket.
