Am about to buy a laptop. I love the ASUS ZenBook, good build quality,good battery life at a price I can afford

But the big decision is which processor.
For much the same price I can by one with an I3 processor or a M5.
I will be using this at University so getting 4 hours minimum of of a battery is a must, ideally I would prefer 5 or 6 hours. Will be using MS Office, Windows 10, a bit of programming in C, and youtube, Khan University etc for videos. Will not be playing many games on it.

What are the pro's and cons between the I3 and M5? Which one would you opt for and why?
