I have two laptops, one with a dual core i5, and the other with a quad core i7, and for the vast majority of tasks, there's not a lot of difference in performance. For games, yes, but that's more due to the difference in GPU performance than CPU.
It would be fine, yeah, but for work, i5 will do, i7 is better. They use processor speed to determine what order they put your webcam room. The better your processor, the more customers you get.
