Looking for advice on processors....I will use this computer for Photoshop and developing slideshows in ProShow Producer. Will I see a big difference between an i7 3770 vs an i5 3350P?

The i7 is much better at handling parallel processes and is overall a more efficient architecture. Canon 1Dx | 5D3 | 7D2 | 6D | 70-200L f/2.8IS | 70-200L f/4 | 24-70L f/2.8 | 24-105L f/4IS | 100-400L f/4.5-5.6IS | 17-55 f/2.8IS | 50 f/1.8 | 28-105 f/3.5-4.5 | 4x Godox AD360

If you're looking at a lower end i5 to save money but are okay with on-chip graphics, the P series is pointless. Just get the 3770. You'll have more speed and hyperthreading. You'd have to buy a discrete graphics card with the 3350P anyways which would negate any price savings on the CPU. bikfoto wrote in post #15835621 The "only" is faster than some quad-cores out there starting with 36..  The i7 36xx series are ultra low power dual cores which are even slower than normal laptop CPUs. You're not helping yourself out at all...just sayin.
