If you check the benchmarks of both you'd be shocked at the gap the i5 gave the i7 though it shouldn't be surprising since it's ages newer.
Another reason is the specs the laptop itself has. SSD with an option to expand through HDD. It's too good to let i7 big name pass you by.

On point

Hakeem12:
The processors are three generations apart, the i5 being the latest one. The i5 has also has a faster ram speed so the 8gb to 12gb is negligible. Then the storage, SSD is way faster than HDD, wouldn't touch a laptop with HDD these days. Faster loading times is noticeable on SSD, so real life performance is miles apart.

That's why PS5 and Xbox one both came with SSD. They have eliminated the long waiting time for the game to load. You can boot up and be inside a game in under a minute.

SSDs are mad sha.

Very mad. The loading times on those consoles are unbelievable.
