Worth the difference?

So i'm looking to buy a laptop that will be great for video editing, and is also great for overall tasks. I am looking at currently the Dell XPS 13 9360 model with similar specs, except for the CPU.

 

Both have:

16gb ram

512gb SSD

3200x1800 Touch Screen

 

The $250 difference between one model and another is one has an i7-7560u, which is $1000, while the other model has an i7-8550u, which is $1250.

 

Is the added $250 worth it for a same laptop, but just a different CPU?

Absolutely worth it being that the 7560u is a hyper threaded dual core compared to the hyperthreaded quad core 8550u.

You aren't going to be able to replace core parts from a laptop, may as well start with power now than regret cheaping out later.

Dual core vs Quad core... If you're already paying thousand, just get the Quad i7 8550U, much better.
