Just curious, how much difference did it make switching from an i3 to i5?

Well, I mostly did the upgrade for sport! This was my first Core CPU upgrade. I suppose it's faster, certainly not any slower, but realistically, since I have an SSD in it, the speed bump isn't obvious for anything that I do with that machine.

As with pretty much any laptop, an SSD upgrade (from mechanical) will improve performance more than any CPU upgrade.
