Travis,

I would agree with Silound above. For what you are planning on doing with the laptop the 'old' i5 will be just fine. Our machines at my work are running Core 2 procs at best and they are working just fine doing internet and office type work. They seem to handle running some Adobe software just fine too. Considering the Core i5 is newer tech than the Core 2 (which is an excellent proc) you will be just fine.
