But then you have different i7 variants with one having a different letter in the name which makes it just half as powerful because it's an extra energy-conserving mobile CPU.
I'm not into hardware but I have a rough overview, though whenever I'm supposed to help someone choose a laptop I only see a whole page with dozens of products and the only difference are a few numbers in the CPU serial number and some other weird product names and I simply have no idea what to say. I fully understand people who just go "I take this one because it has a nice color" - a layperson simply has no chance at understanding the difference, and good luck finding a store where the employees know more.
I never owned an Apple computer and I can still tell you on the spot which category of Macbook is better and more expensive, and why. Might have to do with the devices having normal names instead of alphanumeric strings that probably came from a password generator.
