i5 8300h Gtx 1050 ti & 8gb ram vs i7 8750h Gtx 1050ti & 8gb ram.
How much difference does it make in gaming and daily life use like browsing and using Microsoft office.
Please help me decide.
 
Solution
In both cases the 1050 ti would be the bottleneck and overall would decide your framerate, settings, and resolution. In games, the only benefit from the core I7 would be higher 1% low framerates causing a very small bump in average framerate and potentially reduced stutter in the rare cases. If the core I5 laptop is cheaper I would go for it. Unless you do a lot of heavy CPU workloads you wouldn't notice a change in any of the tasks you listed above.
