@acadiabill , welcome to the Community.

 

Here is an article that will explain the difference for you: https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/intel-core-i5-vs-i7/

 

As you will find, it actually depends on how you use the computer and how much you want to spend.  The newer i5, 6 core, processors are extremely fast and have excellent performance.  However, the i7 is far better for high-end computing, such as, video editing, gaming, etc.

 

Once you read the article you should have a better idea which will work best for your situation.
