Question i7 10510u vs i5 10210u for Autocad, Revit and InDesign

[Abby M]

Hi, I need a laptop for university, I will be using Autocad and Revit and InDesign. I wanted a 2-in-1 laptop, and my options have narrowed down to HP Envy x360 15-DR1017TX and HP Envy x360 15-DR1018TX. The only difference is the hard drive (both are fine) and the CPU. The more expensive one is i7 the cheaper one is i5. There's a $425 difference between the two laptops. The cheaper i5 laptop meets Autocad's recommended specs. However, Revit recommends i7 processor but doesn't specify which one. I've looked up the bench marks between i7 10510u and i5 10210u and there isn't much difference at all. They both have mx250 4gb GPU and 16gb RAM. Cheers
