Why would I need a i5 over this i3 processor? null

Core i3: Basic users. Economic choice. Good for browsing the web, using Microsoft office, making video calls, and social networking. Not for gamers or professionals. Core i5: Intermediate users. Those who want balance between performance and price. Good for gaming if you buy an HQ processor or a Q processor with a dedicated graphics processor. Core i7: Professionals. This is the best Intel can do right now.

The I-5 processor would be for more demanding work. Check with the software publisher of the software you will be using for their minimum/recommended requirements, they may requirement the processing power of the I-5.
